Abstract
I am unaware of anybody who has yet to address as thing. I've chosen to attempt that in this chapter. Sports economics received technical certification in 2015 when it was added to the Journal of Economic Literature (JEL) Classification Codes, Other Special Topics (Z), Sports Economics (Z2), with sub-codes (American Economic Association, 2020). But it existed long before that, even well before the Journal of Sports Economics (JSE) appeared in 2000. I feel the time is ripe for a retrospective, a little crystal ball gazing, and some informed encouragement. This chapter is about sports economics as a discipline. It is only about sports economics work per se, as it turns an eye toward the future. I also assume a working knowledge of a few sports economics topics that I do not take the space to define (after all, there is Google). My hope is that one American's take on where it came from, and what it has become, may inform where it can go.
