Over the decades, journalists, pundits, non-professional historians, and everyday people have offered competing narratives about the origins of modern sports in the late Ottoman Empire. \n\nThe Ottoman World of Sports tells the story of how Istanbuls Muslims, Christians, and Jews-gymnastics teachers, football coaches, weightlifters, journalists, athletes, and fans-created a gendered and class-stratified civic project that promoted athletics as a source of fun,.
