How do football fans experience online abuse? Impacts, responses and implications
Online abuse, especially in the context of sport and leisure, is a growing and required area of study. Athletes, journalists and officials have been notably subject to various forms of abuse on major social media platforms, and this, in turn, has prompted responses from scholars, media organisations and sports authorities. One stakeholder who’s experience of online abuse has gone largely unexamined, however, is fans. In existing research, fans ha…

State formation, diplomacy and sport
This paper considers the interconnected practices of state formation, diplomacy, national identity and sport through an examination of ‘Irish’ involvement in the British Empire Games of 1930, 1934 and 1938. These events had a contradictory role in bolstering diplomatic relations between those who were committed to the empire but also in expressing the aspirations of those who sought independence from it, or a distinct identity within it. State fo…
Let the tournament for the woke begin
Exploring online criticisms of the “take the knee” protest during “Euro 2020”, \nthis article examines how alt- and far-right conspiracies were both \nconstructed and communicated via the social media platform, Twitter. By \nproviding a novel exploration of alt-right conspiracies during an international \nfootball tournament, a qualitative thematic analysis of 1,388 original tweets \nrelating to Euro 2020 was undertaken. The findings reveal how, …
A Scoping Review of Research on Online Hate and Sport
The rise of online hate speech in sports is a growing concern, with fans, players and officials subject to racist, sexist and homophobic abuse (in addition to many other prejudices) via social media platforms. While hate speech and discrimination have always been problems in sports, the growth of social media has seen them exacerbated exponentially. As a consequence, policy makers, sport governing bodies and grassroots anti-hate organisations are…
Honour and Shame in Women’s Sports
This piece, first delivered as a keynote address, examines the role of honour and shame in understanding the many stories of women's involvement in sport in Ireland from the eighteenth century onwards, and especially in the modern era. While women's sporting involvement was regarded as shameful, especially in those sports imbued with traditional associated masculine norms, the prospect for women's sports is different today than in the past. Yet t…

Figurational Sociology and the Sociology of Sport
This entry provides an overview of the origins and development of figurational sociology and the sociology of sport. It discusses the overlapping principles of this sociological tradition, and gives an overview of the intellectual ambition of its founder, Norbert Elias, best encapsulated in The Civilising Process , and some examples of the ways in which his ideas have been tested, refined, refuted, and expanded by subsequent generations. Overall …
On being 'head strong
In recent years there has been growing concern about concussion in sport in general and rugby union in particular. The qualitative study reported here draws on interviews ( n=20) with adult players in non-elite club rugby union in Ireland in order to explore the frames of reference within which they perceive, give meaning to and manage concussion. Within a sporting subculture which emphasizes lay sporting values - particularly the value of 'playi…
Sport, Empire, and Diplomacy
International sport, as Geoffrey Pigman has correctly observed, emerged “as a quintessential case study demonstrating the part that public diplomacy plays in contemporary diplomacy.” The British Empire Games/Commonwealth Games [BEG/CG] are one such example, being the second largest multi-national multi-sport event today. Their origins lie in the interwar era when members of sporting organisations, many of whom were active in other formal aspects …
The Downfall of a Man is Not the End of His Life”
The burgeoning number of football academies in Africa are widely understood by young aspiring players and their family members as a conduit for transnational migration and a professional career in the game. However, for the vast majority of academy recruits the stark reality is involuntary immobility. While there is a growing literature on African football migration, the experiences of young players from the continent who are unable to translate …
The Narrative of João Garcia
On the basis of narrative structure, this exploratory work aims to distinguish the lived experience of a Portuguese sports hero and noted mountain climber, João Garcia. Using phenomenological analyses of biographical interviews lasting over 15 hr in total, the narrative of João Garcia, the Portuguese alpinist who summitted the world's 14 mountains above 8,000 m, is constructed. The analysis also includes the books written by Garcia himself in whi…

This paper explores the main contributions of the figurational sociological tradition to the sociology of sport. It also charts the development of this work since the pioneering text, Quest for Excitement, by Norbert Elias and Eric Dunning, as well as offering a brief overview of some of the debates and disagreements that have arisen within the area
Ill Met in Ghana
In recent years, Sir Jack Goody has published a series of essays (2002, 2003, 2004, 2006: 154-79) criticizing Norbert Elias's theory of 'civilizing processes'. In all of them, Goody - himself a West African specialist - makes clear that his disagreement with Elias dates back to their acquaintance in Ghana. The date is highly significant for it is unlikely that Goody's opinions of Elias's ideas were initially formed by his reading of Elias's publi…
Figurational Sociology
Figurational” sociology is the term used for the research tradition stemming from the work of Norbert Elias (1897–1990). The name comes from Elias's use of the grounding concept of “figuration” as a deliberate attempt to bypass and reformulate the speech and thought parameters of what he saw as homo clausus (“closed person”) assumptions underlying much of sociology. Figurational sociologists reject such common notions as agency–structure, action–…
Established-outsider Relations between Males and Females in the Field of Sports in Ireland
This paper will introduce readers to the field of sports in the Republic of Ireland with specific reference to changing power relations between the sexes. It will situate a present-day social phenomenon, that is, Irish females‘ increasing involvement in what are seen traditionally as male-associated sports such as Gaelic football, rugby and soccer, within the context of social processes in which more or less independent groups of people (that is,…
