D. Stanley Eitzen was professor emeritus of sociology at Colorado State University, where he taught for twenty-one years, most recently as John N. Stern Distinguished Professor. He was the author or coauthor of twenty-four books, including three on sport, as well as numerous scholarly articles and chapters in scholarly books. He was a former president of the North American Society for the Sociology of Sport and the recipient of that organization’s Distinguished Service Award. Among his other awards, he was selected to be a Sports Ethics Fellow by the Institute for International Sport. Cheryl Cooky is a professor of American Studies and Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Purdue University. Her research focuses in three areas: gendered media representations of sport; gender politics of sport and public policies; and how gender shapes sports experiences, cultural meanings, and organizational structures in sports. She is the co-author of Serving Equality: Feminism, Media and Women’s Sports (2022, Peter Lang Publishers) and No Slam Dunk: Gender, Sport and the Unevenness of Social Change (2018, Rutgers University Press).
Fair and Foul has been the text since I started teaching Sociology of Sport. To many students, sports are sacred not to be spoiled by the sociologist's critique, but the critique is necessary. I was elated to learn that Cheryl Cooky would take on the work of co-author and publish a new edition. With her important reorganization of the chapters, her respect for Stan's work in previous editions, and sociological yet interdisciplinary framework, Cooky's edition well exceeded my expectation. I applaud her and thank her.-- ""Judith McDonnell, Bryant University"" Fair and Foul offers a critical, yet accessible discussion of central issues related to sport and society including NIL, health, media, franchises and more. Fair and Foul is a perfect read for students interested in the study of sport and society at various levels.-- ""Letisha Brown, University of Cincinatti"" A timely update of a longtime leader in the field, Fair and Foul is a model of how to think critically about sport without losing sight of sport's unique pleasures and social benefits. Fabulous for teaching.-- ""Doug Hartmann, University of Minnesota, author of Midnight Basketball: Race, Sports, and Neoliberal ""
