basketball

I've decided that the social dynamic among team sports varies significantly and thus I'm going to focus on basketball, both professional and nonprofessional, in my ethnography. Although I'm disappointed I can't cover a variety of sports I realize that there are some sports that are more classed than others (tennis), some that are more ethnicized than others (cricket, american football) and some more racialized than others (basketball). As far as I know the NBA is the most diverse american sporting league with nearly 40% of its members being of foreign descent. I've contacted my two interviewees and now have to get them their consent forms and start coming up with interview questions.
