The book explores the increasing visibility of deviant behaviors in contemporary sports, such as violence, drug use, and discrimination, reframing these issues through a sociocultural lens. It challenges traditional moral judgments and emphasizes the role of consumer perception in shaping the discourse around deviance. By providing fresh insights into the sociology of sport, it aims to engage both academics and students, encouraging a re-imagination of deviance in this context.
