Lecture 7 sport and deviance: norm a shared expectation that people use to identify what is acceptable and unacceptable in a social world. Can be both formal (rules) and informal: deviance o(cid:272)(cid:272)urs (cid:449)he(cid:374) a perso(cid:374)(cid:859)s ideas, traits, or a(cid:272)tio(cid:374)s are perceived by others to fall outside the normal range of acceptance in a society. Can be both formal (violation of official rules) and informal (violation of unofficial rules) There is no one theory to explain deviance. Deviant acts in sport may not be deviant in society and vice versa. Deviance in sport is often overconforming to norms. Port is de(cid:448)elopi(cid:374)g so fast that so(cid:373)e aspe(cid:272)ts do(cid:374)(cid:859)t ha(cid:448)e (cid:374)or(cid:373)s that are i(cid:374) pla(cid:272)e yet. There is a range of acceptance associated with norms most actions are normal but some are underconforming or overconforming. Deviance is socially constructed and is changing all the time.
