Dave Zirin and the Work of Sport Sociologists

Check out Dave Zirin's insightful article in Contexts (publication of the American Sociology Association) calling for sport sociologist and others who engage in the critical study of sport to engage the wider public with their work. Zirin, who has a forthcoming book, People's History of Sports in the United States, gives props to yours truly and several other scholars for producing scholarship that is impacting the sporting world and its public.
