Investigating the Prevalence and Distribution of Sport Fandom
Investigating the Prevalence and Distribution of Sport Fandom
Routledge Handbook of Sport and Covid-19
This chapter scrutinises the impact of COVID-19 on disability sport. The chapter starts by discussing the various discourses and commentaries on disability sport and culture in analysing how a more accessible and inclusive future can be developed. Some of the key questions addressed in this chapter include: How is COVID-19 furthering inequalities for disabled people in sport? Are there aspects of disability culture, documented in and outside of s…
Everyday Things Change
During the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, Australian professional sport leagues were impacted by temporary league shutdowns. One example is the Suncorp Super Netball, the world’s premier netball competition. This commentary paper explores the Suncorp Super Netball league shutdown from the perspective of the players. Our commentary has emerged from an ongoing ethnographic study supported by interviews with two players (a representative on the pl…
Exploring Sport and Intergroup Relations in Fiji
There is a key tension associated with ethnographic explorations into the lives of people in the Global South - 'outsider' researchers from the Global North who lack experience of the environments they are seeking to understand. A considered response, therefore, is for scholars to seek physical immersion in a field-to live among those they are trying to understand. Such ethnographic inquiries are optimal when researchers have the capacity to enga…
Managing the Paralympics
This book critically examines the planning, management, and operations of the worldâ s premier event for Para sport athletes. Noting a lack of research into how these games are planned and managed, the authors of this contributed volume discuss how the Paralympics are essentially different to the Olympics and what this means for their management. Managing the Paralympics explores how the organizers and connected stakeholders effectively organize …
Quantifying the value of sport broadcast rights
Although sport broadcasting has received a considerable amount of academic attention, how sport content is valued and monetised from a broadcaster perspective remains relatively underdeveloped. This article adopts multisided market theory to test the broadcast value of Australia's two most valuable sport broadcasting properties, the Australian Football League and the National Rugby League. To do so, a content and ratings analysis was performed to…
Managing Sport Mega-Events
In this chapter we will illustrate the significance of sport event leverage in the context of large-scale and sport mega-events. We first introduce the different areas of event leverage, before discussing the specific strategies and tactics related to the concept. Moreover, we provide case studies to illustrate sport event leverage in practice and highlight challenges and limitations
Critical Issues in Global Sport Management
Sports-related concussion is an important and complex issue, but it is not a new phenomenon. Meehan and Bachur (2009) traced early forms of sports-related concussion to 776 B.C. in the sports of wrestling and fist fighting. The physical risks of contact and collision sports (Luntz, 1980) and challenges of managing injuries (Mitten, 1993), particularly return-to-play or practice decisions, are reoccurring themes across sport, across jurisdictions …
Managing the Football World Cup
Managing the Football World Cup explores areas often overlooked by project management and business studies researchers. Therefore considering the global impact of the Football World Cup it is time for
The Relationship Between Television Viewership and Advertising Content in Australian Football Broadcasts
The traditional view of football fans, especially in a country such as Australia, has often been an unflattering one, with fans cast as being young, male, and with a beer in one hand. This article performed a demographic analysis of television viewership within Australia’s two largest football codes, the Australian Football League and the National Rugby League, to explore the demographics of this audience more closely. This was coupled with an ad…
Broadcast Inequality in Australian Football
The Australian sporting landscape is characterised by centralised broadcasting agreements that leave individual clubs at the mercy of league and broadcaster objectives in determining the nature and degree of their broadcast exposure. As a by-product, the potential exists for variances in television coverage between clubs that may result in significant economic disparity. This article endeavours to quantify this variance and discuss the related ma…
Football participation legacy and Australia’s qualification for the 2006 Football World Cup
This paper examines the impact of qualification for the 2006 World Cup on football participation in Australia. Australia’s qualification for the 2006 World Cup created widespread media coverage across the country, and this was amplified by the fact that it was only the second time the nation had qualified for the event. Contrary to a number of studies that have examined sport participation legacy and major events, this research presents data that…

The Olympic Games are the world's most complex and challenging sport mega-event to organize. Managing the Olympics is the first ever attempt to bring together the world's leading Olympic management re
Organising Sport at the Olympic Games
In this paper, the interdependent and fluid organisational networks that form to organise Olympic Games are analysed using Norbert Elias's concept of human figurations. Rather than considering organisational situations and developments in static terms, Eliasian process sociology frames the place of organisations within the broader social and historical contexts in which they operate. From an Eliasian perspective, the organisation of a mega-projec…
Aussie Aussie Aussie, Guus Guus Guus’. Guus Hiddink’s reign as the coach of the Socceroos
In 2005, a Dutch ‘super’ coach by name of Guus Hiddink achieved what many Australian football fans thought was an almost impossible task: he managed to lead the Australian football team to qualification for the 2006 FIFA World Cup. This was only the second time Australia had qualified to play in this tournament, with the previous success being 32 years prior, in 1974. The purpose of this essay is to explore how the Australian and Dutch media cove…
