Aggression in Sport: Its Implications for Character Building.

VanDyke, Roger R.

Quest, v32 n2 p201-08 1980

The premise that "sports builds character" is scrutinized through a discussion of several contact sports--boxing, hockey, and football. The fine line between assertiveness and aggression is explored, and the interrelationship between society and sports is investigated. (JN)
