Abstract

The New York Attorney General filed a lawsuit against DraftKings and FanDuel in 2015 accusing them of operating illegal gambling platforms. Using actor–network theory, we show how DraftKings, FanDuel, the New York Attorney General, critics, and legislators were preoccupied with how much agency players possessed. They also understood agency as emerging from a sociomaterial arrangement of human and nonhuman entities and saw how agency could be enhanced or limited by introducing new rules, technologies, and constraints. We compare this perspective on agency with theories typically used in sociology of sport and we consider how sociologists can intervene in sport agency.

《每日梦幻体育》中的代理审判
2015年,纽约总检察长对DraftKings和FanDuel提起诉讼,指控他们经营非法赌博平台。利用演员网络理论,我们展示了DraftKings、FanDuel、纽约总检察长、评论家和立法者是如何专注于代理玩家拥有多少。他们还将代理理解为来自人类和非人类实体的社会物质安排,并看到代理如何通过引入新的规则、技术和约束来增强或限制。我们将这种代理的观点与体育社会学中通常使用的理论进行比较,并考虑社会学家如何干预体育代理。
