New contribution
I would be useful to add more scientists to the list (starting with H.Edwards) from miscelaneous countries. (Gkr79 05:19, 30 September 2007 (UTC))

I think this page is a great idea but I agree with GKR79 that the page is lacking. I would love to add how C. Wright Mills' sociological imagination can help see the relationships and dynamics in sport culture (between athletes vs. athletes, athletes vs. coaches, athletes vs. school...etc). This is a cornerstone of sociology! Eec34 (talk) 02:21, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

I agree that this page could use some work -- it's extremely general. what is sport culture look like today? How can certain sociologists/philosophers help us understand sport culture? What conflicts with sport culture? Chickey13 (talk) 14:10, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

Deleted paragraph
I deleted the paragraph below from the "Deviance" section because the "facts" here are largely based on speculation.

"Another way athletes are deviant is through drug use, violence, alcohol abuse. It seems like today there is an increasing amount of deviant athletes, who frequently get in trouble with the law but rarely see disciplinary actions. This may be why there seems to be so much deviance in sports today. Athletes today act like they are "above the law". They make so much money they are able to pay their way out of getting into trouble for their deviant actions. This is why they choose to be deviant, because they can." —Preceding unsigned comment added by Unusual Suspect (talk • contribs) 17:39, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

New Contribution
An additional study into Jean Piaget's study of children at play would help to bring the idea of Sociology of Sport and Play into perspective as well as begin to develop the subject from a stub article into a full article of importance to the sociological society.Thoughts? --Preceding unsigned comment added by maxwell_david (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 15:22, 18 November 2010 (UTC).

Further reading needs trimming
The size of the list of further reading is significantly excessive for an article of this length. Could someone who knows about the subject trim the list to truly relevant ones. Borderline ones could be moved to talk for future consideration when the article has more content, but anything minor or tangential doesn't belong - this isn't a degree course reading list.

 * Removed the obvious: duplicate titles, not sociological, too specific for topic.--WriterArtistDC (talk) 23:23, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

Ideas for new information
The article I chose to edit for wikipedia is "sociology of sports". In this article, there is not much information except for broad generalization of where this term came from and how sports are categorized. Some ideas I would add include what sociology of sports means, and how it has shaped our culture and society and vice versa. I would go into how the different factors have influenced our attitude towards sports and how has been changing throughout the decades. Mlingx3 (talk) 02:10, 12 November 2017 (UTC)

Suggestions for developing article
Jet82 (talk) 20:13, 13 February 2019 (UTC) Just about everything in this article is relevant to the topic of how sports impact society. There aren't many distractions, however, it could be organized a lot better. The article in generally neutral and factual, but not as detailed as it could be. It could definitely use much more depth and density to it. Some information is a little out of date, but most of the links work and are pretty reliable. The talk page of this article includes some entries from different users explaining their contributions, including added info, deleted info, flaws, more available sources, and ideas for new info. Lastly, this article does somewhat achieve its rhetorical objective, although there is work to be done.
