Sport constituted an integral part of the GDR's ideology. One particularly important event, in both the sporting and ideological senses, was the Friedensfahrt cycle race. This article considers, through memories of the Friedensfahrt, the views of some women members of Germany's Party of Democratic Socialism (PDS). A brief consideration of the theoretical context of German Marxist-Feminism prefaces a discussion of sport and ideology in the GDR, followed by an analysis of interviews that indicates a relationship between levels of expressed enthusiasm for the Friedensfahrt, affection for the GDR and an internalization of Marxism-Leninism. The Friedensfahrt may be regarded as a metaphor for the passivity of GDR women in the context of what was an essentially masculine formation of Marxist ideology.

This paper constructs a brief history of British ice hockey and The Manchester Storm (the self-proclaimed largest ice hockey club outside of North America), focusing specifically on the re-emergence and commercialisation of the sport in the 1990s. The paper argues that ice hockey has a long (but marginalized history) within British culture, but has always been heavily tied to North America in both its style of presentation and in its personnel. However, the 1990s has seen a specific move towards a more, family-based, ‘affluent working class’ core of supporters, and a popularity based largely upon the novelty and ‘family-orientated’ entertainment that surrounds the sports event. A popularity, which I suggest, may be reducing as the novelty of the sport begins to fade with many of its supporters, and these ‘cultural tourist’ move onto new and fresher (cultural) pastures.

The disproportionately low number of Asian Heritage professional soccer players in Britain is a matter that has been increasingly noted within the game. Indeed, comparisons are now being made between players of Afro-Caribbean Heritage 'breaking in' 35 years ago and the current lack of Asian Heritage players. Through use of questionnaires, this research focuses on the perceptions of Youth/Community Development officers at UK professional football clubs and Asian Heritage males who are involved in playing the game. Comparisons are drawn in particular with the Bains and Patel report (1996) which remains probably the most significant discussion of the issue from the last decade. Findings suggest that there are some encouraging signs of progress in some clubs and that the two groups share views on certain barriers to Asian Heritage players entering professional soccer. However, they remain very polarized in important respects, not least concerning the prevalence and impact of racism.
