A Site to Resist and Persist: Diversity, Social Justice, and the Unique Nature of Sport

George B. Cunningham et al.

Summary: Scholarly debate on the unique characteristics of sport management mainly focuses on the sport product, the relationship between sport and external stakeholders, and the role of fans and winning in sport delivery. The authors argue that sport is unique as it allows coaches and athletes to resist and persist through activist efforts. They suggest that the significance of sport in society, the celebrity status of coaches and athletes, and their engagement in activism and resistance lead to societal change. The authors also emphasize the importance of moderators, such as coach and athlete demographics, social justice orientation, and operating context, in influencing the relationship between celebrity status and activism and resistance.
