A Social Conflict or Critical Perspective on the Politics of Sport

A social conflict or critical perspective on the politics of sport is illustrated by the idea that:

A) U.S. sports teams reinforce a belief in the American Dream in the U.S. and in the countries playing against the U.S. in international competitions.
B) sports accomplishments of national sports teams can overcome ethnic divisions within nations and unify those nations.
C) the international success of national sports teams reinforces the legitimacy of political leaders and the stability of their political regimes when these leaders strongly and publicly support these teams.
D) the Golden Triangle uses its political ties to governmental elites to serve its economic and political interests and maintain its dominance over big-time sports.
