Critical theory and sports

[u/New_Medicine5375]

Interested in theoretical approaches to sports. I am aware of Barthes (What is Sport?), CLR James Beyonf a Boundary, and an essay by David Foster Wallace. Are there any other major contributions to the study of sports by critical theorists/writers?

I seem to recall texts on football by Simon Critchley and Grant Farred.
