The purpose of this essay is to underscore the importance of contemplating the unsustainability of neoliberal sport in the Anthropocene.

Moreover, this approach also encourages the development and implementation of innovative methodologies aimed at conveying the complexity…

The authors argued that the coverage promotes anthropocentric narratives by framing the pandemic as an external force causing a temporary and unforeseen “hiatus” in the sports industry. As a res…
