Teamsport

My steady regular Janko the teamsport jock is the prime example.

However, there certainly is a tremendous amount of injury that is promoted, albeit not intentionally, in sport. This is not just in teamsport either.

The ubiquity of teamsport participation also means that there is a great deal of peer pressure, even if not direct, for other youths to play these “games.”

Previous research on competitive male teamsports has typically found high levels of homophobia, creating a hostile environment for gay athletes (Bryant, 2001; Hekma, 1998; Pronger, 1990; Wolf-Wendel et al., 2001), which has predominantly manifested through the utility of homophobic language (Burn, 2000) and violence (Connell, 1995).
