Is sport the main event or just the prop? In Issue 06, Good Sport look at how sport serves as a backdrop for social movements, community bonds, and artistic expression. 

Issue 06 explores the boundary between reality and illusion in sport. From fake props to authentic performances--what's real and what's not?
