This book examines the importance of sport within our society, from participation in sporting activites in schools to the 2012 London Olympics. Inclusivity in sport and issues such as racisim, homophobia and football 'hooliganism' are looked at, as well as the debates surrounding footballers' wages and the use of performance-enhancing drugs. The information comes from a variety of sources, including government reports and statistics, newspapers and magazine articles, surveys and polls, academic research and literature from charities and lobby groups; articles have been tailored to an 11 to 14 age group. Additionally, at the end of each chapter are two pages of activities relating to the articles and issues raised in that chapter.
