Sports and competitiveness often go beyond simple forms of entertainment and health as they celebrate hypermasculine ideals based on the notion that violence is a means of personal growth. The following study identifies how sports culture influences a culture of agonism in which violence and aggression are celebrated as virtues. The agon of competition is central within society, and its glorification has seeped into all aspects of modern society. Analyzing the understanding that competitiveness is linked with enjoyment and aggression suggests that normalized acts of violence have led to a further extremification of a dominant culture of agon within Canadian society. This paper contributes to a niche critique regarding the role of sports culture and its influence on the construction of hypermasculine hegemonies.
