On the other hand, there are several studies that do support the relationship between sport and social inclusion. For example, Coalter (2005, 2017), Gibbs & Block (2017), Ryom & Stelter (2017) or Morgan, Parker & Roberts (2019) point out that there is a tendency for the practice of sports and/or sports activities linked to the field of leisure and free time to favour the social inclusion of people belonging to groups at risk of exclusion in communities and groups. Also of interest is the monograph published by the journal Anduli by Moscoso y Muñoz (2012) that aims to investigate the relationships between sport and social inclusion from the field of Sociology. Among the works published in this monograph stands out the critical reflection that Maza and Sánchez (2012) raise on sport and foreign immigration, which indicate that although sport does not change social problems, it can help to resist in the processes of exclusion and reverse the meaning of them, so that sports activities in the problems of social exclusion are effective, when they act as an instrument rather than as an end. These ideas converge with those of Etxarte, Arregui & Rosell (2019), which must be careful, because sport can be an active tool to produce, reproduce and maintain social inequalities, but it is also a key agent for resistance and change of situations of exclusion (Rio-Hernandez, 2017).
