Basketball Without Borders
Joel Embiid, the 2023 National Basketball Association (NBA) Most Valuable Player, born in Yaoundé, Cameroon, competed and won a gold medal at the 2024 Olympics with Team USA. However, his decision to play for Team USA was not without controversy. Embiid also became a naturalized French citizen in 2022, meaning he could have played for the host nation at the Olympics. He also always had the option to compete for Cameroon, his country of birth. Thi…
Mapping East Asian Sport Scholarship
While large-scale assessments of North American and Europe-based sport journals have been conducted, a specific look at how East Asia is explored in sport scholarship is lacking. To access knowledge domains of the region where the three consecutive Olympic and Paralympic Games (2018, 2020, 2022) were held, this study reviews 206 research articles published in five leading sport communication and sociology of sport journals to explore the publicat…
Discrimination and Deterrents Affecting Female Sports Journalists and Sports Coverage in Tanzania
Sports journalism, traditionally a male-dominated field, is undergoing a notable shift as women increasingly enter the profession, both in developed nations and across Africa. However, despite the progress made by women globally since the 1970s, compared to the Global North, the presence of female sports journalists remains low in Tanzania. Grounded in media feminism theory, this study explored the perceptions of women sports journalists regardin…
Streaming Live From Paris
The 2024 Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games both increased the total amount of media content through NBCUniversal’s television and streaming services compared to the Tokyo 2020 broadcasts, with thousands of hours of live sports coverage available across the globe. Previous Olympic research primarily focused on prime-time coverage, which is often limited to certain sports. This research sought to expand broadcast-commentary scholarship related to …
More Medals, More Press
In 2022, 72 teams competed in the Commonwealth Games. The continent of Africa sent more teams to the event than any other world region. However, few studies have examined the African perspective related to mega-sporting events. The current research utilized a comparative content analysis of online national newspaper articles published in African Commonwealth countries during the 2022 Commonwealth Games. Results indicated significant differences b…
A problem without a cause
Critical examinations of the sport for development (SfD) field have highlighted concerns related to an emphasis on individual-level solutions and outcomes and the reinforcement of current neoliberal power structures. As such, the purpose of this paper is to investigate how SfD organisations use their annual reports to frame social problems, define the causes of those problems, the role of sport in crafting solutions to development problems, and m…

African Basketball in Photographs
The purpose of this research was to examine how the BAL utilizes Instagram in presenting the league and promoting its players. The researchers used a content analysis method to examine the posts on the account. They found that the BAL primarily used Instagram to post-game highlights and league news rather than post about sponsors or corporate social responsibility activities. It appeared that the BAL featured athletes based on success, rather tha…
“Time to Award Some Medals”
Rights-holding broadcasters of the Olympic Games play an integral role in conveying the values of the Olympic Movement, but few studies have examined these networks’ social media content. This investigation involved a comparative content analysis of rights-holding broadcasters’ official Olympic Twitter accounts in the United States (@NBCOlympics) and Australia (@7Olympics) during the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics. Results indicate significant diff…
On the “Basketball Africa League”
The inaugural season of the National Basketball Association–supported Basketball Africa League (BAL) featured 12 teams from the African continent, competing in a Champions League-style competition. This brand-new professional endeavor featured player rosters mandated to feature a certain number of players from each of the countries in which the individual teams were based, with rosters also including a small number of foreign players. Proceeding …
