Introduction

Do you often wonder where did sport come from? How did our society become so enthralled and integrated with sports? The answer is this: sport was born from society. The earliest records of sport date all the way back to the prehistoric ages. As society has changed over time, so has the role that sport plays. Sport is derived from the most basic element of a society, and that is its people. This basic human element is what comprises the sociological and cultural factors that we see arise in today's world. Factors such as race/ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation and economic status, have been heavily debated time and time again. With each human element brings a cultural influence into sport. This blog was created in order to address these sociological and cultural issues present in sports today. This blog was created to ask questions…not give answers.
