Digital Media Sport is an enjoyable read and relatively accessible for scholars and students, offering an informative text that traces some of the key contemporary digital sport transformations from diverse theoretical perspectives. This work could usefully complement screened/ digital examples, and offers an invaluable resource for contemporary sport, media and internet researchers. - Damion Sturm, University of Waikato
