Sport and music share a quintessential bond with the family. The popularity of sport and diversity of music taste are reflected in popular culture. Sport, music, and popular culture can be intrinsically valued by family members as essential characteristics of family life. Parents often influence the music taste and sport involvement of children. Although music and popular culture can be influential in the lives of family members, sport also can influence family members as spectators, fans, participants, and athletes, and as they build family traditions. Society also can influence how music and sport are interpreted by members of families and society, and this influence is frequently represented in popular culture as stereotypes. For example, popular culture and media outlets can influence how the families of professional athletes are portrayed to the public, and how female partners in these marriages are objectified, trivialized, and stereotyped in superficial and negative images.
