Sport combines the frivolous with the serious; and the ideological with the structural. Cultural ideology consists of the general perspectives and ideas that people use to make sense of the world, and to determine what is important or unimportant in life. Many such ideals are found in sport. Thus, sport may be viewed as a microcosm of society. Many of the problems that confront us in society can be found in sport too, including sexism, racism, ageism, elitism, drug abuse, corruption and violence.
