how is sports a microcosm of society?
Second, because sport is a microcosm of society, it dramatizes the social order. As a microcosm, sport represents the social order in miniature, a âslice of lifeâ and exhibits that slice in an exaggerated and dramatic form, much as a play dramatizes an episode of life. Sport mirrors or reflects society, its virtues and vices, but unlike a mirror, which is passive, sport is active.
