dc.description.abstractThis thesis explores the disjuncture between Canadian football players' experiences and perceptions of consent in relation to on-field violence, hazing, and performance-enhancing drug use and the textual representations and hand lings of these acts in the Canadian legal system and/or by league review committees. This thesis provides ample evidence that the institutional disciplinary hand lings of these acts of deviance in Canadian football do not align with the perceptions and interests of Canadian football players. In this work, two main theoretical concepts are developed and applied to provide descriptive sociological insight into the legal issue of consent in Canadian football, including tolerable deviance and a legal concept of constraint. The canons of exploratory research are followed in this study, which provide guidelines to follow but no rigid methodological rules. Through the combination of three f existing theory/methods a unique methodological approach is developed that is indeinite, flexible, and creative to aptly explore the complexities of on-field violence, hazing, and performance-enhancing drug use in Canadian football. This approach is not without theory or method but rather, draws on three approaches that can be termed exploratory theory/methods including: Institutional Ethnography, Actor-Network Theory, and Grounded Theory. The data developed and activated in this study include media files, over 40 Canadian legal cases, 81 semi-directed interviews with football players and administrators across Canada, published autobiographies of professional football players, as well as various texts involved in the institutional handling of disciplinary matters in junior, university, and professional football in Canada.
