Boyhood, Organized Sports, and the Construction of Masculinities MICHAEL A. MESSNER
-Messner found, in comparing the athletic careers of boys in middle-class families to boys in poor or working -class families, that:

A) poor and working-class boys value sports almost entirely for the social respect it gives them, while middle-class boys worry that about being labeled"jocks" and unintelligent
B) sports are more valued and promoted in middle-class communities
C) middle-class boys see sports as one of many possible opportunities for economic advancement, while poor and working-class boys see sports as one of only a few avenues that lead to success
D) working-class boys suffer more injuries than middle-class boys that cut their careers short
