  • Most Valuable Perpetrator: Exploring the Athletic Market Value of National Football League Players and Its Impact on Consequences for Gender-Based Violence

    Katelyn E FoltzARTICLESociology of Sport Journal2026

    This article interrogates gender-based violence in SportsWorld by introducing the market value index, a conceptual and empirical measure designed to assess how an athlete’s economic value influences institutional consequence. Drawing on data cataloged in the Gender-Based Violence in Sports database housed at the University of Delaware’s Center for the Study and Prevention of Gender-Based Violence ( https://smithandhattery.com/gbv/ ) and analyzing…

  • The Covid-19 Murders”: Prison death-worlds and the fatal convenience of crisis

    Open AccessDalton J Lackey, Angelica C Loblack et al.ARTICLEPunishment & Society2024References: 6

    Since the eruption of the COVID-19 pandemic, U.S. correctional facilities have reported more than half a million positive cases and nearly 3000 deaths. The carceral regime's unconscionable response to COVID-19 has been accepted as a mere “failure” by observers. We question this reading given the dispossessing purpose of carceral punishment, instead reframing prisons as necropolitical death-worlds that weaponize crisis to advance their repressive …

  • What Is a Girl Worth: Gender-Based Violence and Accountability in SportsWorld

    Marissa Ki, Katelyn E Foltz et al.ARTICLESociology of Sport Journal2024Cited by: 2References: 1

    Despite having clear policies that address athlete misconduct, including gender-based violence, at the collegiate and professional levels, members of SportsWorld—athletes, coaches, and staff—are rarely, if ever, held accountable. And, even when they face a penalty, more than 80% are allowed to either remain on the team or transfer and continue playing. In this paper, we explore the impact of this lack of accountability, including the “positive” b…

  • Theorizing Feminist Abolitionist Approaches to Gender-Based Violence: A Descriptive Case Study of Gender-Based Violence in SportsWorld

    Open AccessKatie Mirance, Katelyn E Foltz et al.ARTICLEGender & Society2024References: 37

    Gender-based violence has long been a concern for feminist scholars and activists. Second-wave feminists agitated for the criminalization of violence, and more recently, feminist abolitionists have articulated the dangers and risks of relying on the criminal legal system to effectively address gender-based violence. Here we theorize the application of feminist abolitionist principles for addressing gender-based violence in the institution of spor…

  • Re-Conceptualizing Kaepernick’s Kneeling Protests and His Banishment From the NFL as an Infringement on His “Right to Work”

    Open AccessEarl Smith, Angela J Hattery et al.ARTICLEJournal of Black Studies2023

    A nascent literature is emerging that analyzes the case of Kaepernick who was “locked out” of the National Football League (NFL) beginning in 2017 because he chose to protest police brutality, systemic racism, and white supremacy. Using status expectations states theory and prototypicality theory, our research re-conceptualizes Kaepernick’s lock-out as an infringement on his right to work. First, we utilize a modified case-study approach comparin…
