Abstract
This paper provides an insight into the teaching of economics. Using sport and The Simpsons one can do some of the heavy lifting when teaching the subject, as these topics generally engage students and provide ample analogies from which one can explore and discuss key economic concepts. The paper does not seek to provide a deep examination of the economics of sport, but merely to illustrate how The Simpsons and sport can be used to teach fundamental economic concepts.
