Description:According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, outdoor soccer was the second most popular organised sport for Australian children after swimming. It far outstripped the popularity of the three other football codes that are played in Australia- rugby league, rugby union and Australian Rules football.Yet the soccer participation phenomenon in Australia is matched neither by the media coverage of the game in these countries, nor by the academic interest in the game. With a few notable exceptions in academic sports history, the game of soccer remains understudied in comparison with the other football codes. And, apart from some interest that is generated by World Cup campaigns, the media coverage of soccer is largely marginalised, and becomes most emphasised when reporting on aspects of ?hooligan? crowd behaviour.This book investigates some of the ways that soccer has been maintained as marginal to Australian identity, and why the sport remains vitally important to some marginalised groups within these communities.This book was previously published as a special issue of Sport in Society.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
