Abstract : Many people believe that sports represent morality and positive qualities like equality, fair play, teamwork, and respect for one another. It may also, nevertheless, represent bad morals and unethical actions that polarize society. Gender is a social construct that designates certain acceptable actions for the male and female sexes. Gender performance is dynamic and subject to shift in space, time, and conversation. Sport scholars have shown how popular notions that frequently result in discrimination are both challenged and reinforced by sport. Through this critical perspective that questions our conventional wisdom, sport might begin to function as a potent force for social change.
