Feminists on sports?
Does anyone know offhand if there are any feminists that have specifically dealt with issues relating to sports (and I don't mean necessarily the female athletes themselves getting paid less, less airtime, less sport options, but more... an actual analysis of what makes up sports)?I think I'm phrasing myself badly, and I'm going to hit Google after dinner. But if anyone has links at hand or articles in mind, I'd love to see 'em.
Edit: Specifically, women participating in boxing. Yay in feminist books or nay? A little of both, I imagine, though it does seem to be skewed towards yay. What about other violent sports? Mixed-gender teams? Anyone?
Plato also enters into this somewhere. And yes, I have a point, it's just getting to it that I'm having the trouble with.

Might I suggest you pose this question to Kameron at http://kameronhurley.blogspot.com/
She's big into women in sports, particularly boxing and marital arts. If anyone would know, she would :)
Thanks! Will do. :)
I was gonna say, why Brutal Women of course! and then realized, duh, that's her new site.
Heh. :) I'm pretty new to the whole Blogspot/Blogger scene, so recommendations are always good!
