Show Notes
This episode explores the diverse, complicated, and politically charged world of Latine sports, which is directly relevant to chapter 8 on race and ethnicity in sports. We look at the range of terms used to name this broad array of peoples and communities. That discussion launches us into a survey of different Latine sports worlds, the uses and meanings of sports across these communities, and their political implications. We address how inequalities and opportunities unfold in different school settings. We discuss research methodologies and their potentials in sport management. We end by discussing the impacts of anti-immigrant hysteria in 2025 and the impacts of ICE raids upon Latine communities and how it manifests in sports worlds.
