Abstract

Masculinity has so dominated the rules of the game, who plays and who wins, that male sports like soccer and rugby have not only taken over the playing field but become national symbols of unity. CORA BURNETT argues that a unified challenge is necessary if ideological control of sport is to be wrested away and the arena opened to all.
