Antecedents, decisions, and outcomes of Corporate Social Irresponsibility in sports mega-events
Sport mega-events (SMEs) attract the attention of billions worldwide, while also being a growing area of concern regarding Corporate Social Irresponsibility (CSI). Employing a systematic literature review using the Antecedents-Decisions-Outcomes (ADO) framework we answered three key questions: Where and when does CSI occur in SMEs? Who are the stakeholders in CSI in SMEs? How do stakeholders respond to CSI in SMEs? Our findings reveal key CSI dri…
Digital sovereignty and leisure
This paper puts into conversation the concepts of platformisation, digital sovereignty, and leisure by exploring the shift to Bluesky during the legal suspension of X in Brazil between 30th August and 8th October 2024. To analyse the impact on Brazilian users of the Supreme Court decision to block access to X’s servers during this period, we map the adoption and use of Bluesky by the 20 football clubs playing in the Brazilian first division. We u…
Platformization, cultural practices, and patterns of (dis)continuity
This article examines processes related to platformization in the case of 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup. By focusing specifically on how this World Cup edition was produced and consumed on TikTok, we primarily are concerned with how World Cup-related content was engaged with by users who, in this case, are assumed also to be fans, or followers of football. By drawing together insights from digital sociology, the sociology of football, and the cultu…
Challenging (platformisation) invisibilities through humour
The penetration of social media platforms in the cultural production and consumption circuits of sport mega-events means that organisations like the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) are afforded new and alternative channels to engage with their audiences. TikTok, one of the largest platforms, is characterised by a higher degree of playfulness and humorous content and has been used to mobilise audiences for prosocial political aims. Using …
The platformisation of consumer culture in and through football
This paper advances an understanding of the platformisation of society through the prism of global football. With an analysis of four continental club competitions’ presence on Instagram and Facebook, this article seeks to question expressions of algorithmic consumer culture. Particularly, the article explores how users’ (dis)engagement with branded content on the relevant platforms speaks to processes of ‘algorithmic resistance’ but simultaneous…
Conceptualizing a ‘power game field’ through the case of ‘ Padrão Fifa
A central question within social theorization relates to the rescaling of ‘power’ in a globalized world. This paper advances sociological debates on power by cross-pollinating Beck’s power game theory with Bourdieu’s field. Hence, it conceptualizes what we call a ‘power game field’. This captures the power competition that cuts across local, national and global fields and involves, likewise, local, national and transnational actors whose capital …
Between global events and local reverberations
This article advances sociological work on globalization processes. It concerns itself with conceptualizations of how the local and global 'clash', utilizing Ulrich Beck's work on globalization, cosmopolitanism and power. By employing Brazil's 2014 Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) men's World Cup as a case, this article seeks to build on Beck's theorizations, into the field of football; using the General Law of the World C…
Digital transformations in a platform society
The prevalence of digital technologies and emerging social media platforms in the 21st century has altered the ways in which individuals and groups produce and consume elite football (soccer). Elite football is no longer consumed merely through ‘traditional’ media as television or radio. By comparing the ‘big five’ football leagues (the first divisions in England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain), this article examines how these leagues have ada…
Staging Olympic sustainability? A critical analysis of the IOC’s framing of sustainable practices on YouTube
As a significant pillar of the leisure world, the sports industry makes substantial contributions to climate change through carbon emission and its influence on sustainable practices, rendering some sport mega-events environmentally destructive. In line with wider trends, researchers have increasingly examined sport megaevents, their governance and environmental impacts. In this context, this article contributes towards an understanding of how 's…
From television to YouTube
Technological changes have dramatically transformed the ways in which contemporary sport mega-events are produced and consumed worldwide. As the production and consumption of these global spectacles have moved beyond the traditional television and radio broadcast, this article examines and reflects on the hyper-digitalisation of sport mega-events. More specifically, we explore how one emerging platform presents a window for examining questions of…
The Paralympics on YouTube
This article aims to explore the digital consumption of the Paralympic Games on the video-sharing platform YouTube to understand how the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) engages consumers in a digital setting, enabling an 'alternative' consumption of the event. Using YouTube Data Tools, we have automatically scraped data from 17,701 YouTube videos from Paralympic Games' channel. After data manipulation and consolidation, statistical analy…
Chasing a Tiger in a network society? Hull City's proposed name change in the pursuit of China and East Asia's new middle class consumers
The English Premier League possesses multiple global dimensions, including its clubs' economic ownership, player recruitment patterns and television broadcasts of its matches. The owner of Hull City Association Football Club's economic rights, Dr Assam Allam, announced plans to re-name the club 'Hull City Tigers' in an attempt to re-orientate the club towards seemingly lucrative East Asian, and specifically Chinese, markets in 2013. This article,…
The Football Supporter in a Cosmopolitan Epoch
Arguably, the later process of globalization served to reshape how socializations are fostered and maintained across time and space. In addition, in the last 15 years, a new phenomenon that reinvigorated time and space compression has emerged: social media. Moreover, it is argued that the conjunction of those processes can be seen as taking place on a distinct Age-the Anthropocene or the cosmopolitan epoch. Arguably, those processes have the capa…
Cultural consumption through the epistemologies of the South
In 2014, Boaventura de Sousa Santos awoke the global sociological community to the need to privilege 'humanization' in the exploration of transnational solidarities. This article presents the cultural consumption of a football club - Liverpool FC - to understand the common 'love', 'suffering', 'care' and 'knowledge' that fans who are part of the 'Brazil Reds' or 'Switzerland Reds' (although not all fans engaged in such communities are 'from' Braz…
