Texas Scorecard by Robert Montoya October 6, 2025
The university’s Center for Sport Management Research and Education is the publisher.A sports sociology textbook published by Texas A&M University promotes “critical race theory” and the LGBT agenda. Writers critique “whites” and promote the idea of using sports as a means of “transforming” society.
Texas Scorecard received a copy of the third edition of “Sociology of Sport and Physical Activity” (2019), published by Texas A&M’s Center for Sport Management Research and Education. George B. Cunningham and Marlene A. Dixon of Ohio State University edited it, and included contributions from writers from universities worldwide.
Writers Adam Cohen, of the University of Technology Sydney, and Jon Welty Peachey, of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, explain in chapter 8 why these leftwing topics are included in a sports textbook. They explain “the use of sport as a vehicle or platform for transforming the social structure of a social group or society.”
The book is being used in Texas A&M’s Fall 2025 course Sociology of Sports.
Two chapters examine sports with a leftist ideological lens.
For example, Trevor Bopp and Joshua D. Vadeboncoeur claim “racial progress is determined at the discretion and by the interests of Whites.” They wrote the textbook’s 13th chapter: “Race and Ethnicity in American Sport.”
