Describes the rapidly advancing trend toward the economic domination of world sports by multinational capitalism to examine whether these processes are becoming standardized. Economic, political, technological, & cultural factors that have worked to create new relations of sport, TV, & nation are discussed, including the corporate media takeovers of the 1970s cricket league & the 1990s rugby league, as well as the 1994 baseball strike in the US. Although it is clear that the media-sport complex has the power to decimate the local interests that once made sport so important to working & minority communities, it is maintained that some new sport traditions are challenging former racism, chauvinism, & homophobia. Olympic Committee & the Federation Internationale de Football Assoc activities are examined to show that global governance in sport is neither totally corporate nor nationalistic, but depends on an interdependent relationship between nationalism & corporate funding. It is suggested that sport offers both opportunity for global capital & hope for social justice advocates. J. Lindroth
