Problem: What social problems exist in North America, and how is sport involved in solving them and/or making them worse, or not speaking to them at all? How do the functionalist and conflict/cultural social theories account for social problems? For example, what theories exist to explain aggression/violence? How have they been employed to explain either the social functions of sport or the reasons behind violence in sport? How are human bodies used in "contact" sports like football, and what should be done about sports injuries, particularly head injuries? What is the evidence for athlete involvement in sexual assault? What accounts for the alarming trail of evidence of athlete violence against women?
