Kevin Young Chapter 2 Flashcards
What is cell one, player violence, defined as?
Player to player violence, involving behaviours encompassed both within as well as outside the rules of sport- condoned as ritualistic or harmless. Athletes express or imply consent to violence done by them and to them (this separates cell 1 from the others)
What has the bulk of existing research on sports violence examined?
Cell 2- crowd violence.
What is the difference between cell 2 (crowd violence) and cell 3 (individualized fan-player violence)
Cell 3 does not involve large groups, as not all fan violence is perpetrated by organized, identifiable, or sizable groups.
What is cell 4?
Player violence away from the game.
How are players involved in cell 5 (street crimes) dealt with?
Often more leniently than if they weren’t a high profile athlete.
What are some examples of Cell 6 (harms against the self)
WEight cutting and weight gain, drug use, eating disorders, psychological and mental disturbances, and physical injuries.
How does the injured athlete represent the ultimate paradox of sport?
You use the body as a weapon against others which results in violence against one’s own body.
What is hazing (cell 7: athlete initiation/hazing)
The required performance by neophyte athletes of often traumatic initiation rituals in the pursuit of a new identity and induction into a new team setting.
How does cell 8 (stalking harassment, and threat), present itself?
Persons in positions of organisational authority and power taking advantage of young impressionable athletes (male to female), celebrity and outspoken coaches being stalked or threatened by fans, veteran teammates bullying younger teammates.
How is sexual assault (cell 9) by male athletes bound by other social structures?
Of gender and power, the acting out of hegemonic masculinity, sexism, and misogyny.
What do we know about cell 10 (partner abuse, domestic violence)
Mostly committed by me, may be a link between being a high profile athlete and violence against partners but there needs to be more research done.
What do coaches represent (cell 11: offences by coaches, administrators and medical staff)
Central in the legitimation of aggression and the teaching of violent practices- learning how to do violence.
What are some examples of cell 12: parental abuse?
Angry parents, verbal dueling, exploitative behaviours against the vulnerability of children. Children may feel powerless to oppose an overbearing parent etc.

Sexism and racism.
What are the 3 other forms of identity violence in sport?
1) homophobia
2) Ableism
