Deviant Behaviour In Competitive Sport. A Sociological Attempt At Explaining The Phenomenon, Zbigniew Dziubinski
Baltic Journal of Health and Physical Activity
This article seeks to use selected sociological theories to account for the phenomenon of deviance in sport. Two main theoretical approaches are employed herein: the functionalist/structuralist approach and symbolic interactionism. The analysis that follows leads to the conclusion that deviance which occurs in sport is predominantly a consequence of deviance in modern societies. Sport, in turn, is just a convenient area for deviant behaviours to be manifested, which often happens more clearly and conspicuously than in societies.
