Sports have deep historical roots, playing important roles in the development of past and contemporary economies and cultures. A wide range of sciences and social sciences have paid attention to sport, but, in the case of geography, attention has not been quite as thorough as other disciplines. Nevertheless, sports geography has made an important contribution to the overall sports knowledge base, articulating how sport is fundamentally geographical through its outreach, its place-based identities, and through the meanings and energies that surround the places within which it occurs. Over the years, regional, spatial science, political economy, humanist, social constructionist, and, most recently, posthumanist theoretical lenses have all been deployed in the geographical study of sport. All these, and particularly the latter, will be needed to come to grips with 21st-Century technological and cultural trends in the production and consumption of sport.
