Answer 2

The nature and scope of sports sociology​ is as follows:

• Sociology of sport, otherwise known as sports sociology, is a discipline of sociology that studies sports as a social phenomenon.  Sports sociologists critically examine the functions, impacts and roles that sports have on different societies.  
• The sociology of sport encompasses research in various other fields such as political science, history and anthropology.
• Sociology is not treated and studied as a branch of any other science like philosophy, history. Now it has emerged into an independent science. As an independent science it has its own field of study.
• Sociology "confines itself about what is, not what should be or ought to be." As a science it is silent about questions of value. It does not make any kind of value judgment. It only means Sociology as a discipline cannot deal with problems of good and evil, right and wrong.
