After watching the class video, “Not Just a Game,” examine the questions below and write a critical sport essay. This is not a written response with just an “opinion.” Be sure to examine the topic and use Coakley, Chapter one for support.
How does comparing sports to battle glamorize war? Why do you think we constantly compare football to war? According to Zirin, whatʼs the main problem with this? Why do you think the Pentagon initially reported that Pat Tillman was killed by enemy fire? How does the Pentagonʼs original story line up with what Zirin refers to as the “real man myth” that often gets reinforced in sports? In what ways might the Tillman story, and the militarization of our sports culture more generally, be considered ideological?
Consider all of these questions and write a two-page, single-spaced essay about the conflation of military and sport as an ideology.
