A Little Background Never Hurt Anyone

As a grad student studying sport management I’ve been exposed to a lot of different ways to look at sport. I’ve been a fan of sports since I was a child but until I started this program I never really thought of other aspects of sport outside of competition. The purpose of this website is just to talk about the impact that sport plays on popular culture. Sport is everywhere. You can see it in movies and TV shows and it can be heard in music. Whether you like it or not sports impact your lives on almost a daily basis.

 

My big plan for this blog is just to discuss a little bit of everything. I hope to be reviewing some sports related films such as Brian’s Song, Field of Dreams, Rocky, Bend it Like Beckham and The Natural. I may look into some older films as well. I will also gladly review any movies that anyone asks me about. The films will be reviewed not just for entertainment value but also picking up on some of the social aspects as well.

Current sports news will definitely be open for debate here and if you’re reading this you’re going to be stuck reading about some of my favorite teams and why they’re important to me. This may be the only place in the world where you’ll read about the University of Georgia and East Tennessee State University in the same place.

So now that I’ve gotten this out of the way, feel free to leave me some feedback.
