Sports came to the twenty-first century as one of the major manifestations of the culture of body movement. However, their presence in the school curriculum depends on teachers who still believe in the educational value of sports experience or projects that originate outside the educational context. The academic field of Physical Education, which mediates between sports and school, remains oblivious to the demands of students and the schoolas an institution. Its hegemonic discourse asserts that sports have no educational qualities. On the other hand, the Olympic discourses produced by sports organizations need to justify themselves and turn their eyes to the educational system. I propose that education and school sports must be linked, overcoming the academic fundamentalism that keeps them apart. In order to introduce school sports in the curriculum, as part of schools pedagogical project, and as an educational public policy, I suggest that it is necessary to dislocate those policies from the Brazilian Olympic Committee to the Education Ministry sectors responsible for Physical Education. I argue that the sports experience within the school is what makes the sports a curricular component educationally relevant, as so disagreeing with the conceptions based exclusively on competition that drive educational policies. I use the post-foundational Discourse Theory from E. Laclau and C. Mouffe as well as H. Lovisolo s writings on aesthetics and its relationship with Physical Education and sports. Methodologically, I deeply interviewed 5 teachers, whom I call interlocutors for their contribution in expanding my understanding of the relationship between Physical Education and sports as well as the demands posed by theinstitutions where they work. They also helped me to discuss the convenience of public-private partnerships in school Physical Education. I move towards the substitution of Marxist paradigm, hegemonic in school Physical Education, by Mouffe s idea of radical democracy as a way to re-signify school sports in political terms. The inclusion of sports in school by projects and workshops originated outside the educational system may represent a threat to Physical Education.
