By detailing individual experiences, Anderson shows how these athletes are emerging from their athletic closets and contesting the dominant norms of masculinity. From the locker rooms of high school sports, where the atmosphere of "don't ask, don't tell" often exists, to the unique circumstances that gay athletes encounter in professional team sports, this book analyzes the agency that openly gay athletes possess to change their environments. 588 0 Print version record. 650 0 Gay athletes. 650 0 Masculinity in sports. 650 0 Sports|xSocial aspects. 650 0 Homophobia in sports. 650 7 SPORTS & RECREATION|xEssays.|2bisacsh 650 7 SPORTS & RECREATION|xHistory.|2bisacsh 650 7 SPORTS & RECREATION|xBusiness Aspects.|2bisacsh 650 7 SPORTS & RECREATION|xReference.|2bisacsh 650 7 GAMES|xGambling|xSports.|2bisacsh 650 7 TRAVEL|xSpecial Interest|xSports.|2bisacsh 650 7 Gay athletes.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00939061 650 7 Homophobia in sports.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00959747 650 7 Masculinity in sports.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01201127 650 7 Sports|xSocial aspects.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01130525 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aAnderson, Eric.|tIn the game.|dAlbany, NY : State University of New York Press, ©2005|z0791465349 |z0791465330|w(DLC) 2004021367|w(OCoLC)57515594 830 0 SUNY series on sport, culture, and social relations. 914 ocm62750456 994 93|bGTK
