Published on 2007 by ProQuest
When Pierre de Coubertin reestablished the modern Olympic Games, his intent was to create an athletic venue that encouraged men to achieve great athletic accomplishments. Unfortunately for women, most of society agreed that they should not be involved in athletic endeavors. Over time women have been socialized to internalize gendered discourse in relation to their bodies and capabilities in sport. The existing research on gender and sport has focused on traditionally female sports, such as gymnastics and figure skating, or female-acceptable sports, such as track and field and basketball. Even though women's participation in sport has been addressed in the area of sociology, it is often depicted in terms of abnormality and apology. That is, current literature has focused on the female athlete as one that has invaded the male domain of sport. She has been sexualized in the media and forced to apologize for her athletic prowess. This treatment is particularly evident in the constructions of women in contact sport.
