Flexible Positional Superiority of Whiteness in the Atlanta-Journal Constitution
This study is a Foucauldian genealogy examining local media coverage of the Atlanta Beat. An archive of 432 newspaper clippings between February 2000 and September 2003 from The Atlanta Journal Constitution (AJC) composed of advertisements, headlines, articles, and images on the Atlanta Beat was constructed to deconstruct discourses on professional women’s soccer; in particular, identifying a regime of truth and discontinuity in discourse from an…
The (Not So) United Soccer of Atlanta
During the late 1960s, Phil Woosnam and the Atlanta Chiefs developed and implemented a community programming model to enculturate local residents into the cultural practice of soccer. The model was immersed in the racialized urban politics of Atlanta, demographic changes of suburbanization, and emergence of middle-class lifestyles. This study merges local historical evidence on the advent of organized youth soccer with the theories of Robert Putn…

Out of Eastern Africa
Globalization spearheaded professionalization and commercialization of sports, which has contributed and elevated sport labour migration out of Africa. People move far from their home base to improve their standards of living, form new identities, and to enhance national pride, which enabled many African men and women involved in elite sports to become an integral part of global sport competitions. This paper investigates factors that influenced …

School-based physical activity (PA) interventions impact children’s PA involvement and thus opportunities and associated factors for the promotion of physical activity in children need to be examined. The purpose of this study was to examine physical education teachers’ perceptions of PA opportunities available to students at the middle school level and indicate associated factors that might influence these opportunities. A questionnaire survey w…
