Athlete Autonomy and Wearable Technology: Collegiate Athletes’ Understanding and Perceptions of the Proprietary Use of Their Physical Performance Data
Within the institutional setting of collegiate athletics in the United States, wearable technology devices are regularly issued to competing college athletes for the purpose of harvesting their personal biometric performance data. Although data harvested from college athletes by institutionally issued wearable technologies are of potential value from a performance standpoint, a robust third-party marketplace also exists for athletes’ biometric pe…
The Modernization of Monitorization: Technological Adaption and Innovation as Mechanisms for College Athlete Surveillance
Athletes competing in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) athletics have long been monitored by their respective athletic departments. As technology continues to advance and become more socially pervasive, many NCAA member institutions have issued wearable technology devices to athletes. The present study sought to examine the function of such implementation of wearable technology in collegiate athletics. Findings from interviews with…

Cheering on the Collegiate Model: Creating, Disseminating, and Imbedding the NCAA’s Redefinition of Amateurism
In January 2012, during his 'State of the Association' address, National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) President Mark Emmert urged members to fix the 'collegiate model.' Imbedded in the speech's framework, this relatively new term in the NCAA national office's lexicon has received spontaneous consent from the association, member universities, and other college-sport constituents including administrators, coaches, athletes, reporters and …
You Know, We Are All Indian: Exploring White Power and Privilege in Reactions to the NCAA Native American Mascot Policy
In August 2005, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) ignited a firestorm of controversy when it announced a policy that would require colleges and universities with Native American mascots and imagery to refrain from displaying those during NCAA-sponsored events. The policy further stated that institutions with this imagery would be ineligible to host NCAA championships starting in 2006. This article examines what the controversy r…
Getting beyond imagery: The challenges of reading narratives about American Indian athletes
Since the late 1800s, members of mainstream sport media have constructed narratives about American Indian athletes. Consistent with that history, American Indian athletes were featured in stories on sports television and in sports publications between November 1999 and July 2001, a time period that straddled the ending of the twentieth and beginning of the twenty-first centuries. This paper examines several of those stories, including an ESPN spe…

The article begins with an introduction to Cohen’s work and then elaborates on howWhite privilege operates within the culture. An analysis of various aspects of American Indian sport imagery follows, using a concept Cohen called “transcendental nonsense.” Finally, the article concludes with…
Of Polls and Race Prejudice: Sports Illustrated’s Errant “Indian Wars
This article offers a collaborative review of the article 'The Indian Wars'from the March 4, 2002, issue of Sports Illustrated that purported to present novel scientific findings regarding the attitudes of sports fans and American Indians toward Native American mascots. Despite the claims of the periodical, the authors argue, the article provides a flawed and biased account of pseudo-Indian mascots that misconstrues their history as well as signi…
The Cleveland “Indians”: A Case Study in American Indian Cultural Dispossession
The purpose of this paper is to trace the tangled web of relationships between and among European-American notions of property, individual and group possessory rights, and the role societal institutions play in promoting the exploitation of American Indian culture and people through the misappropriation of “Indianness” by sport teams. The analysis progresses from a discussion about the racial “invisibilities” of “Indianness” and “Whiteness” that …

An Act of Honor or Exploitation? The Cleveland Indians’ Use of the Louis Francis Sockalexis Story
Using a critical theory approach, this paper examines how perceptions of historical accuracy impact on the legitimation of the Cleveland Indians’ claim that the Native imagery used in the promotion of the franchise was chosen to honor the first Native American to play in the major leagues, Louis Francis Sockalexis. An analysis was conducted of data gathered from Cleveland’s own account of the naming of the franchise along with past and present re…
Critiquing the Language of the Gender Equity Debate
Prevailing depictions of the nationwide discussions regarding Title IX and gender equity typically represent those discussions as adversarial in both tone and nature, as seen in linguistic devices such as the 'battle of the sexes,' a 'dispute,' a 'fight,' and a 'tug-of-war.' This article develops the position that the reliance on an adversarial model as the predominant framework on which the Title IX and gender equity discourse is structured not …
Blaming the Victim: Resistance in the Battle Over Gender Equity in Intercollegiate Athletics
This article examines the May 9, 1995, U.S. congressional oversight hearing of the Office of Civil Rights and its enforcement of Title IX in athletic departments. Sage's 'blaming-the-victim' framework, used to study other persistent problems in intercollegiate athletics, was employed to analyze the testimony of witnesses at the hearing and position statements prepared by various men's sport associations prior to the hearing. An argument is made t…
Examining the Roots of a Gendered Division of Labor in Intercollegiate Athletics: Insights Into the Gender Equity Debate
The purpose of this article is to examine gender-based, systematic inequity in sport as reflected in the 1993 final report of the NCAA Gender Equity Task Force.
