The thesis is presented that sport is an important societal phenomenon because of
its ritualistic overtones. The significance of sport as a ritual is based on the
status of the athlete as exempla y role incumbent with power to mediate between the
individuals zoho comprise the audience and the moral order of the community. Theoretical
support is derived by a synthesis of Durkheim's social
theoy of religion and Gofian's theo y of interaction ritual. Sporting incidents singled
out and applauded by the media as examples of heroic action are used to support the
idea that athletes are significant social figures because they are capable of representing
important societal values, i.e.,
courage, gameness, integrity, and poise.
