Zusammenfassung:"Miracle and Rees argue that our current sports obsession is on a collision course with the true needs of a society heading toward the twenty-first century. In the global marketplace, the American educational system needs to compete on more than just the playing field. Sports cannot dominate education, as it often does on the high school and college levels. The authors believe individual educational goals should be complemented by athletic experiences, and desirable social ethics should be expressed through sports participation, instead of the "win-at-all-costs" mentality that pervades most of today's locker rooms. They make predictions about what sport will look like in the future if we can get beyond the myth that it builds character." "Chapters are devoted to outlining the nature and history of the myth of school sport; sport and school unity; evidence for the myth; school sport and delinquency; sport and the education pay-off; school sport and the community; school sport, education, and corporate needs; the future of school sport; and the evolution of the sport myth."--BOOK JACKET.
