Sports in Society Issues and Controversies 13th Edition by Jay Coakley

 For over 30 years, Sports in Society has been a resource in the cultural, interactional, and structural dimensions of sports. 
The Thirteenth Edition provides a thorough introduction to the sociology of sport by raising critical questions to explore the relationships between sports, 
culture, and society. This text takes an issues-oriented approach to the study of sports in society and encourages the discussion of current sports-related controversies. 
Students develop critical thinking skills by considering their own personal experiences, families, schools, communities, and societies.
