Abstract

The aim of this paper is to discuss the phenomenon of football in the Physical Education classes. The work springs from systematic observations carried on at a public school in Campinas, SP, in which, during almost a full school bimester, I followed the daily activities of an 8th grade group in their Physical Education classes. I could observe that football, beyond a privileged practice, was a stage for prejudice and inequality. Such facts drove me to the comprehension that the students, when understanding ‘the other’ with a stereotyped view, would eventually label her as inferior, which, consequently, did not allow a dialog on equal basis between them. Thus, I believe it necessary to understand ‘the other’ within the principle of alterity – which, more than relevant, becomes then a must.
