With the rapid expansion of e-sports, the e-sports federation in Sweden seeks legitimacy and support in their efforts to gain recognition as a real sport. With this background, a bill has been proposed to the National Sports Association of Sweden to include the movement as a member of the organization. Thus, granting the official legitimacy and support that the e-sports movement seeks as a sport. The purpose if this study was to examine how sports clubs perceive e-sports to see if they think it has a place within the context of a traditional sports club. The method used to retrieve this data was semi-structured interviews with key decision makers within the sports clubs randomly chosen within a specific county. The purpose was examined by breaking it down into three key questions, which were then used as headlines in the result. The results of the study are that there is a willingness among most of the sports clubs to begin the work of integrating e-sports within the club, but there were requirements. One of them was drift from the starters so that the board of direction can keep doing what they do, thus they want the e-sports section to operate on its own. Another requirement was that those who wish to start the e-sports sections know the economic parameters, preferably. The less enthusiastic leaders who did not wish to integrate e-sports still wished to learn more about e-sports as they saw that it will keep expanding, these leaders were however somewhat doubtful of how an e-sports club could be integrated into a sports club and what benefits there might be for both parties in this cooperation.

Le badminton est pratiqué par un cercle restreint d’adeptes, de son introduction en France, jusqu’à 1979, contrairement à d’autres sports modernes apparus au même moment et qui deviennent des phénomènes culturels de masse. Cette thèse met en évidence un ensemble de facteurs limitant l’essor du badminton et sa fabrique en tant que sport reconnu comme tel. L’activité se pare progressivement de traits de sports modernes à partir de la naissance du club de Dieppe, en 1907 (une institution, une codification uniforme, des compétitions, un classement, la recherche de progrès, un entraînement de plus en plus rationnel, des cadres formés), elle est pourtant difficilement perçue comme un « vrai sport ». « Jeu de fillettes », « sport de plage », les représentations héritées de son ancêtre supposé, le jeu du volant, lui sont attachées et persistent. Considéré comme jeu, il n’attire pas les pratiquants en quête de « sport sérieux ». Il est pourtant défendu comme tel par ses adeptes et l’est par l’organisation qu’en propose son institution dirigeante. Faute de masse de joueurs importante, les pratiques ne sont pas suffisamment visibles pour faire changer les représentations. À ce cercle vicieux se rajoute un ensemble d’éléments qui ne permettent pas à l’activité d’être visible. Le badminton est d’abord une activité distinctive, réservée à une élite sociale. Il s’organise ensuite en tant que sport alternatif au tennis, jusqu’à être placé sous tutelle de la FFLT en 1944, sans pour autant parvenir à convaincre les adeptes de la balle jaune. Sur le plan international, l’équipe de France de badminton fait pâle figure. Les politiques fédérales, sans moyens, sont inopérantes et l’absence d’infrastructures couvertes n’offre pas les conditions matérielles opportunes à une pratique de masse. Ces obstacles sont progressivement levés et conduisent à la renaissance de la Fédération française de badminton en 1979, mais ne suffisent à faire évoluer les représentations, plus fortes que des pratiques peu visibles / Badminton is practiced by a small circle of followers, from its introduction in France, until 1979, unlike other modern sports appeared at the same time and become mass cultural phenomena. This work highlights a set of factors limiting the rise of badminton and its manufactures as a sport recognized as such. The game is gradually built with modern sports features, from the birth of the Dieppe club, in 1907 (an institution, a uniform codification, competitions, a classification, search for progress, more and more rational training, trained executives), yet it is hardly perceived as a "real sport". "Girl's game", "beach sport", herited representations from her supposed ancestor, the battledore and shuttlecock, are attached to badminton and persist. Considered a game, it does not attract practitioners seeking a "serious sport". It is however defended as such by its followers and is by the way of practicing that proposes its governing institution. Due to the lack of a large mass of players, practices are not visible enough to change representations. To this vicious circle is added a set of elements that do not allow the activity to be know. Badminton is primarily a distinctive activity, reserved for a social elite. Then, badminton his organized as an alternative sport to tennis, placed under the supervision of the FFLT in 1944, without being able to convince the yellow ball followers. On the international level, the French badminton team is poor. Federal policies, without means, are ineffective and the lack of covered infrastructure does not provide conditions for mass practice. These obstacles are gradually lifted and lead to the renaissance of the French badminton Federation in 1979, but are not enough to change the representations, stronger than not very visible practices.
