Sport is the most important cultural phenomenon in contemporary society. Brohm (1994) highlighted that the constitution of the word sport runs in parallel between the constitution of capitalism and global imperialism. The sport is not innocent (Eichberg, 1998), while stressing it into sport and life, brings infinite tensions. Even when they are tried to be harmonize, the most important aspects of each one could be ignored (Eichberg, 1998). In this essay we seek to examine the growing development of social studies of sport across Latin America and Argentina.
