The article examines Aaron Harper's book, "Sports Realism: A Law-Inspired Theory of Sport," which applies legal realism to the study of sports. Harper argues that understanding sports requires considering the interpretations and applications of rules by officials, similar to how judges interpret and apply laws. However, the article raises concerns about the analogy between law and sports and the limitations of legal realism in analyzing sports. It explores the differences between law and sports as activities and social institutions, highlighting the difficulty in importing a theory from one to the other. The article concludes by acknowledging the thought-provoking nature of the book, despite its shortcomings. [Extracted from the article] |
