CFP: Philosophy of Sport?

Here is a call for papers on the philosophy of sport. Philosophy of sport is rather new and was started in the 1960's. I have been seeing philosophy of sport mentioned quite a bit on the internet lately but am very ignorant of it's nature myself.  The philosophy of sport definition from Penn State:





In the philosophy of sport, students examine the nature and values of human movement utilizing the nonempirical methods of philosophers. Areas of emphasis include:
  • the ethics of sport
  • mind-body holism and its implications for professional practice
  • the significance of tacit knowledge
  • comparisons of sport with art
  • the unique values of games and play
Some of the faculty have been active in the founding and early years of their respective professional organizations: the North American Society for Sport History and the International Association for the Philosophy of Sport (originally the Philosophic Society for the Study of Sport).
