Sport permeates communication and communication is the essential vehicle for the accomplishment of sport. In this course, we examine the ways in which everyone even those who disdain athletic endeavors comes to know and rely on sport in language, metaphor, and mythology. This analysis adopts a critical/cultural lens, through which issues of sex/gender, race/ethnicity, (dis)ability and nationality inform our communication about sport, and where communication about sport may be influenced and shown to have significant effects on participants and communicators. This exploration will provide the foundation for in-depth study of the many contexts in which communication and sport are intrinsically bound, including the expression of sport fan identity, interpersonal (player-player, player-coach) communication, small group/team communication, and organizational communication.
