Stan Eitzen has been a pioneer in this field. Like many others, I am in his debt as one of the many he has inspired.

Fair and Foul has exceeded my expectations. Each semester that I use it, there is a group of students that understand the good and the bad of sport and see sport as an intellectual issue. Eitzen’s book is a really different sort of text.

As a microcosm of society, sport is a social construction and therefore is an arena in which sociological processes can be studied. As my course is an introduction to the field of sport sociology, the goal of the course is to apply a sociological lens to the world of sports and athletics. Fair and Foul helps me attain this goal. It looks at issues and concerns surrounding the sports world. Its’ coverage is vast and accommodates many of the sections of my course.

This book presents the various social issues embedded in sports in an accessible way and provides a useful overview for many of the units in my course.

Holly Swyers, Lake Forest College

Fair and Foul is unique in its approach and provides quality coverage of significant issues impacting the world of sport. It is an insightful resource that students respond well to.
