The Changing Role of Alcohol Among Male Australian Sports Fans
This article presents the views of 692 adult male Australian sports fans, collected via an online survey from July 2024 to September 2024, regarding the role of alcohol when attending professional sports events in Australia. While the popular orthodoxy is that sport, alcohol, and masculinity are entwined, our data illustrates a different picture. Just under three-quarters of the sample (74%) explained how consuming alcohol was not an important pa…
Crafting your own virtual charity sport event
COVID-19 created a global sporting standstill for mega-events like the Olympics and had a similarly profound impact on small and local events such as charity sport events. These events were forced to pivot to virtual offerings to continue to deliver the event experience and impacts, including critical fundraising outcomes. This paper uses semi-structured interviews with participants in Cancer Council Tasmania's first virtual Women's 5 km walk/run…
Gender arrhythmia and sportswomen's drinking practices during Covid-19
This paper describes the experiences of home drinking by Australian Women's Rugby League (NRLW) and Australian Rules Football (AFLW) players during the COVID-19 pandemic. Drawing on Thorpe et al.'s concept of 'gender arrhythmia', our analysis identifies three ways in which sportswomen describe their drinking practices in terms of the ruptures in patterns, rhythms and routines of their social and sporting lives through the pandemic lockdowns. The …
The epistemic judgement framework
The need for Quality Physical Education to provide the many benefits the subject offers is well established. Unfortunately, in too many areas ineffective teaching and learning practices are limiting the profession’s response to children’s developmental needs. Many teachers’ professional development interventions are criticised as not enabling the required philosophical, and pedagogical shifts that are needed to improve practice and student outcom…
Drinking Stories Among Climbers and Older Athletes in France and Australia
Fitness Philanthropy
Sport is increasingly being used by individuals, charities, and corporate sponsors as a means of acquiring donors and fundraisers to support a variety of social and health causes. This paper examines five key features of fitness philanthropy that when considered together provide new sociological insight into a unique social phenomenon. These are: (a) peer-to-peer giving, (b) social media accounts of embodied philanthropy, (c) community connection…
Charity, social justice and sporting celebrity foundations
Within the research on sport and social protest, there has been little consideration on the role celebrity foundations might play. Through an analysis of the charity foundations of three of the world’s richest and most popular sport stars globally – Roger Federer, David Beckham and Andre Agassi -, this paper maps the potential impacts of their foundations for activism and social justice. The paper argues that it is a particular kind of “soft acti…
Male primary school teachers, masculinity and identity work in regional Australia
This paper reports on the experiences of male primary school teachers in regional Australia. Drawing on 53 open-ended survey responses and interviews undertaken with five male teachers in Tasmania, the paper analyses their perspectives of their work and roles, and the additional labour of ‘career identity work’ through sport. For the men in this study, these additional roles find their antecedents in particular constructions of hegemonic masculin…
Introduction
Feminist scholars have long been at the forefront of advancing the study of sport to address the intersections of gender, race, class, sexuality and ability in framing sporting encounters and experiences (Douglas, 2005; Hargreaves, 2000; King & McDonald, 1997; Scraton, 2001). The field, however, is largely dominated by research that details the gender operations of sport across North America, Europe and the United Kingdom (what is often referred …
Introduction to special issue on sport and alcohol
This introductory essay by Special Issue Editor, Catherine Palmer, introduces a double issue of the International Review for the Sociology of Sport focused on the contemporary agenda of research on alcohol within the field of sociology of sport. In introducing the articles in the special issue, Palmer considers the diverse intersectional concerns relevant to understanding sport and alcohol in a larger socio-cultural dynamic. Noted are the needs t…
OP38 Accounting for Non-Uptake of Bowel Cancer Screening
Background Since being established in 2006, the English NHS Bowel Cancer Screening Programme (NHS BCSP) offers the faecal occult blood (FOB) test to adults aged 60 – 74. This bowel cancer screening test is sent by post every two years to recipients who are required to provide six small samples of faeces from three bowel movements. The kit is returned by post to be tested for minute traces of blood that may be an early warning sign for the develop…
Drinkers, non‐drinkers and deferrers
There is a common perception that football and alcohol go hand in hand and that players and fans routinely engage in excessive and irresponsible drinking. In Australia, this is manifest in the stereotypical ‘Pissed Aussie Rules fan’. Following research with Australian Rules football fans in South Australia, we identified three categories of fans according to their (non)engagement with alcohol: Drinkers, Non‐Drinkers and Deferrers. Deferrers were …
Brazen Cheek
[W]hen I am in a groupe of beauties, I consider them as so many pretty pictures; looking about me with as little emotion, as I do at Hudson's: And if any thing fills me with admiration, it is the judicious arrangement of the tints, and the delicate touches of the painter. ... but my attention is too frequently diverted by considering the texture and hue of the skin beneath; and the picture fails to charm, while my thoughts are engrossed by the wo…
The Paradoxes of Football Spectatorship
In this article we examine the cultural practices of a group of South Australian football supporters known as the “Grog Squad.” While hard drinking is undeniably a central part of this group of exclusively male fans, being a “Groggie” is much more than just being in a boozy boys club. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork undertaken throughout the 2005 South Australian football season, as well as Internet research, we argue that the style of support …
‘Shit Happens’
This article details the particular commodification of those high‐risk, highadrenalin activities known collectively as ‘extreme sports’. A variety of commercial operators now offer relative sporting neophytes the chance to take part in mountaineering, snow boarding or canyonning adventures that are billed as being ‘high thrill, low risk’. It is the way in which the risk and danger involved in these activities is discursively managed that is of pa…
Outside the Imagined Community
Since its publication more than a decade ago, Benedict Anderson’s Imagined Communities has offered an enticing, if romantic, way of conceptualising nationalism. Fine-grained ethnographic analysis, however, of the ways in which local populations actually imagine their community raises some questions for the continuing viability of such a notion. In many places around the world, people consciously and conspicuously place themselves outside of the i…
Spin Doctors and Sportsbrokers
This article explores some of the methodological and ethical issues that arise when undertaking ethnographic research into the governing bodies of world sport. Drawing on the author's own attempts to penetrate the operations of La Société du Tour de France, this article presents two positions (i) that increasing attention should be paid to the role of the cultural broker in examining the institutional power exerted by the sporting and administrat…
