Thug,” “Classless,” and the Policing of Black Womanhood in Sports
This paper critically analyzes the racialized and gendered discourse on social media platforms about Angel Reese, a Black (former) college basketball player who faced intense scrutiny after the 2023 NCAA Women’s National Championship. Using a qualitative content analysis of posts on X, we examine trending terms like “classless” and “thug” to understand how they act as coded language to police the behavior of Black sportswomen. Drawing on Black fe…
I Was in a Position to Enact Change
Recent shifts in societal activism have prompted an exploration of athlete activism, particularly within higher education, where social media has become a pivotal platform for social impact. This paper investigates Division I college athletes’ engagement in athlete activism through the lens of self-authorship and self-presentation on social media for racial and social justice. Existing research underscores the significance of social media in athl…
I See You, Girl
Teaching Black girl pedagogies is a way to truly see them in educational spaces, to see them in their fullness, recognizing their complex and entangled identities. Black feminism and womanism are foundational to Black girl pedagogical praxis, and work to push against misrepresentations of Black girls and Black girlhoods, as well as identify and challenge the linked processes of criminalization and adultification experienced by all Black children.…
You Always Had to Be Very Careful
Collegiate athletes in the United States increasingly turn to social media to advocate for social change. Drawing from interviews with National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I athletes, the goal of this study was to gain a better understanding of the challenges collegiate athletes face when engaging in social media activism. Combining the theoretical lenses of civil leisure and leisure constraints, five higher-order themes captu…
A Perfect Storm
This article pays homage to Black Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) players and their activist efforts. Such players are often-overlooked activists who are always “holdin it down” while simultaneously keeping activism at the forefront of their agenda. When the 2020 Women’s National Basketball Association season opened, the athletes in this league took the opportunity to highlight social injustice in the United States; not surprising …

Old Southern Codes in New Legal Bottles? Sexual Harassment, Race, and Masculinity
Historically, old southern codes were used to regulate the interactions between black males and white females. We draw parallels between these codes and current sexual harassment laws to examine the perceptions of sexual behavior that crosses racial lines. Specifically, we examine how white and black female targets perceived and reacted to the behavior of males of the same and different race than their own. Our results indicate that white women p…

Eat to Live, Don’t Live to Eat
Men often have poorer health outcomes than women. In the United States, Black men in particular tend to have worse health than not only Black women but other racial/ethnic groups of men. One factor that contributes to health is the role of masculinity. Previous research notes that men who cling to hegemonic notions of masculine identity tend to engage in negative health behaviors. However, hegemonic masculinity is not the realm in which Black men…
The Weight of Inequality
The high rate of obesity among adolescents is a global public health problem that has recently expanded to affect middle- and low-income countries. Brazil, which is undergoing a relatively rapid nutrition transition and has inadequate health systems, is currently experiencing the consequences of increasing rates of overweight and obesity concomitantly with the consequences of generations of malnourishment. Given this scenario, Brazil is an ideal …
Sporting space invaders
This article builds on previous work that conceptualizes certain bodies – particularly women and racialized minorities – as ‘bodies out of place’ and ‘space invaders’ – to put forth the notion of the sporting space invader. I argue that certain sporting bodies become sporting space invaders by transgressing sporting boundaries, real and/or imagined. Specifically, this article makes case studies of two South African runners, Caster Semenya and Osc…
"If You're Black, Get Back!" The Color Complex
Skin-tone has always played a role in the socioeconomic lives of African-Americans, and while there are always successes, there are also those who are not as fortunate. A major success for African Americans has come in the shape of the election of the nation's first AfricanAmerican President, Barack Obama, and, by extension, the first African-American First Lady, Michelle Obama. Among the cries of happiness and hope after the election, there ling…
