Synopsis

Develops a way of looking at games/sports as another irreal language, a language that, when used as a metaphor or analogy for life, serves certain interests as opposed to others. This work offers an analysis of language as multiple forms of oppression and shows how power is a consequence of structured inequalities built into language itself.
