Three Approaches to the Sociology of Sports. This paper addresses 3 studies in the sociology of sports, an area which has traditionally received little academic attention. The studies are one theoretical book, a historical retelling of the black athletes' Olympic protest of 1968, and an oral history of college basketball players' conflicting commitments to study and sport. All three perspectives are necessary for a comprehensive sociological view. 5 pgs. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
