Inclusion and exclusion are important issues for sports teams and organisations. This book explores how language use patterns by athletes, coaches, sports fans, and the sports media can create or impede inclusion. Issues of in/exclusion in a range of sports and a variety of socio-cultural contexts are explored, raising important questions for practitioners about how to address matters of in/exclusion that are evident in everyday language use.
