ABSTRACT:
For the sociology of sport to advance, a theory of sport needs to be developed. To create such a theory, the author combines a number of independent and dependent variables to form a group of interrelated propositions that can be empirically tested. Three independent variables are found to have a substantial influence on sport: the degree of emphasis on winning, the degree of emphasis on extrinsic rewards, and the amount of bureaucratization. Propositions are interrelated based upon these three independent variables. The propositions are tied to more abstract propositions within exchange and conflict theory. These propositions form a foundation upon which a more comprehensive theory of sport can be built.
