Inspiring a generation
This study critically examines the London 2012 summer Olympic games sport participation legacy through Goffman’s dramaturgical framework. The UK government, in its bid to host the Games, set out to inspire a generation, promising an enduring legacy of increased school and community sport participation. Using official government surveys, this study analyzes quantitative school and community sport participation data from 2008 to 2023. These quantit…
Settler Colonialism–Genocide–Athleticide
In this paper, our scholarly collective traces how athleticide—defined here as the obliteration of sport, sporting cultures, and athletics through the killing, arrest, detention, or disabling of athletes, coaches, staff, officials, and administrators and the destruction of athletic infrastructure and history—has been part of the US–NATO-funded Israeli state’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza since October 2023. Although much of the literature foc…
Marketing Politics and Resistance
The 2020 North American Society for the Sociology of Sport (NASSS) Presidential Address analyzed aspects of the National Football League’s (NFL) current socially conscious marketing to make sense of corporatized racial justice politics following a summer of mass political mobilization triggered by the police killing of George Floyd. The analysis shows that the mass, multiracial racial justice activism forced corporatized sport leagues such as the…
Consuming for the Greater Good
Amidst a crisis in the US racial state over the summer of 2020, typically “politically” averse professional sports leagues proliferated anti-racist statements. We see the sudden advertising of corporate values and politics by sports leagues as stemming from the development of socially conscious marketing (SCM) in recent years. Marketers celebrate commercials such as Nike’s Dream Crazy (2019) since they amplify the political speech of activists, s…
Ethics of patriotism
This article traces debates about African American professional football players' protests during the national anthem. After reviewing over 400 media texts, we found that each side operates from mirrored ethical positions that lead to competing conceptions of patriotism. We use the term 'patriarchal patriotism' for people opposed to the protests since they hold that institutions of authority protect citizens, and therefore citizens owe them loyal…
Avoiding the Issue
This article examines how 32 mostly white university students understand the NFL players’ protests. We argue students processed the protests (and protesters) through a racialized lens of whiteness that led to two modes of interpreting the protests: the protests are unpatriotic and the protests are patriotic. These categories are primarily based on how students account for African-American NFL players’ resistance to white supremacy and their own w…

Reaching the kids
This article looks at how the National Football League (NFL) uses television and new media technologies to engage in a pedagogical project of teaching the game and its culture to children so that they can produce themselves as fans valuable to the NFL. The NFL takes these steps because becoming a fan of any sport is not a passive process; it requires significant, focused labor to learn the requisite knowledge and perform an identity tied to the c…

Visualizing Humanitarian Colonialism
Photographs are powerful vehicles of ideology. Rather than simply documenting and reflecting a lived, material reality, photos express and retain traces of the belief systems that structure a time and a place. Photographs from American Indian boarding schools document a time and a place, but they also express the shifting ideological landscape of what Gerald McMaster calls "colonial alchemy"-the conversion of children from different sovereign ind…
White Domestic Goddess on a Postmodern Plantation
This article looks at the Hollywood “blockbuster” movie The Blind Side (2009) to explore intersections of race, class, and gender in a significant neoliberal, cultural commodity. Animating the production and, apparently, the consumption of the film is the “inspiring” story of Michael Oher, an impoverished young African American man who was adopted by a wealthy white family and rose to success in the National Football League in the United States. …

Reviewed by: Deconstructing Men & Masculinities Jeffrey Montez de Oca Atkinson, Michael – Deconstructing Men & Masculinities. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2011. Pp. 238. Feminist scholars often point out that although men as a group tend to be dominant, men as individuals tend towards insecurity and crisis. The masculinities literature calls this a “paradox of masculinity” and argues that the social category masculinity itself is crisis fille…

As Our Muscles Get Softer, Our Missile Race Becomes Harder
The "muscle gap" was a period of Cold War anxiety projected onto the bodies of young, white males that produced a discourse fixated on their perceived softness and openness to communist penetration. The underlying anxiety was that youth would be unable to uphold the "national heritage" of expansionism built by the hard (white) men of previous generations. Looking at cultural citizenship as a process of subject-formation sheds light on how a racia…
