Call for Chapter ProposalsAthletes Breaking Bad Tooan edited collection of scholarly analyses In sports, the action on the field is only part of the story. Beyond scores and stats, we find powerful narratives that make athletes into icons, rebels, or even villains. Every era sees certain athletes defy social norms, ruffle feathers, and challenge the status quo—figures often branded as "bad boys/girls." This label is more than just a headline; it’s a reflection of shifting cultural values as it speaks to what a sport and society deem acceptable—or unforgivable.
