Global sport / Sport in the globalization. Continuity and discontinuity of the capitalist professional sport: realities and perspectives

Professional sports in the context of globalization is a enterprise whose role in today's society is the reproduction of economic ideological, political and prevailing social system, the capitalism, that has marked its genesis, dynamic and current status development. If the globalization of sport is to be understood beyond a simple brief description, it should be done within the framework of institutional changes which have been the product of globalization and homogenization of the social system that aims, for historical continuity and discontinuity, to be considered hegemonically as the only valid. This essay explores this reality weighing it with a complementary alternative view from the sociological discourse which asks to expand forms taking advantage of this social practice where equal opportunity and inclusion in its evolution is not mere utopia.
