Introduces students to critical historical and contemporary labor issues in the sports industry. Despite popular notions of athletics as "only a game," the world of sports is an expansive global industry with a complex architecture of labor relations systems. Thanks to spectator sports' status as a pervasive form of mass entertainment, the industry also serves as an influential source of cultural meaning in the wider world of work. Day after day, the sports world is home to mass-mediated conversations about key labor issues ranging from unionization to workplace safety to sexual harassment.
