Conclusion: What Matters Most Sociologically

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
The Sociology of Sports-Talk Radio

Abstract

This chapter summarizes what can be understood in conclusion of this study, which documents what people actually do when they engage in the narrative-centered behaviors involved in sports-talk radio today. It explains how the previous chapters suggest that the narrative struggle of sports-talk radio—and of the broader hyper-mediated marketplace to which it contributes so vitally—is never to be resolved, and that the perpetual quality of that dynamic is ultimately the point that matters most sociologically.
