Fantasy sport: It’s a man-boy-stats-geek-jock’s world
While not such a big deal in Scandinavia, Fantasy Sport is very much so in the US and Canada, with 10% of the population playing and an industry turnover of $7.2 billion. Unsurprisingly it’s very much a man’s world, which makes Rebecca Joyce Kissane & Sarah Winslow’s Whose Game? Gender and Power in Fantasy Sports (Temple University Press) such a timely addition to the literature. But according to our reviewer Richard Tacon it is much more than that, it also offers an excellent introduction to the complex issue of gender and sport.
