A era dos megaeventos esportivos no Brasil e suas relações na educação física escolar

Abstract

Brazil is living a decade of involvement with major sporting events (mega-events). In this context, we will direct the discussion in a dialectical way around the RIO 2016 and 2014 FIFA World Cup games, identifying the close relationships of these events with the school physical education. However, we will approach authors, critical productions and news extracts who have treated these events critically, to the point of contributing to the discussion of this sport phenomenon referenced in the Olympics as the largest mega-sport event. Description of scenarios, the illustrations of the traits and embarrassments of modern sport and its contradictions will supply us with elements for the discussions present in this study. There-fore, the research proposes to understand and situate these events of mega-sport events in Brazilian soil, in view of the capitalist logic in which it is inserted, the elements for an analysis where it is estimated to problematize the mega-events and the physical school education, tracing possibilities for it is possible to think about and understand the role of physical education in school having as a model of sports played in these major sports competitions.
