 Way too biased October 3, 2001

I am currently taking a grad school course of Sports Ethics and we are using this book as a text. Coakley begins each chapter well using differnt socialogcal schools of thought as a basis for defining the each issue that is presented chapter by chapter. However, the second half of each chapter turns into his own personal treatise on what is wrong with sports in today's society. Although I do commend Coakley on having the guts to let his view be known, I don't feel for a book that is used as a text he presents the argument equally well on each subject.

My English is bad and approximativ, sorry. This book is my "bible" for my first degree's students (University of Physical Activities, Heas Stephane, sociologist at Rennes, France, professional tel:0299142051). It offers a large sociology of sport' synthese in american and english languages. I love illustrations and tables. Nevertheless, the french researchs are "quasi-"inexistant: it's dammageable. Thank you for your book indeed.
