Abstract: In this article, I develop the implications of the Post Modern "language turn" first for art and then applied to sport. The combined idea of ineffability and meaninglessness seems to pervade art and post-modern sports. There is a sense of heightened body culture in contemporary sports that draws from a philosophical and art-aesthetic heritage. I then end with a model that suggests the dialectic between art and sport that i believe could be a sub section or parralell the better known relationship, namely that between sport and science or sports science.
