Symbolic interactionism:
- For each athlete, the incentive to play a sport differs. Individuals are socialized to play sports that represent their standing, they claim. People are not playing "hard" games like boxing and soccer.
- Bowling, billiards, and softball are vocal lower-class sports, while polo, baseball, and snow skiing are sporting activities of the upper class. In the sociological study of sport, each model offers an interpretation and has limitations.
- The pragmatic method emphasizes the positive elements of sport for comparison to the whole community but does not consider the conflict of interests between different segments.
