Extending the critique
Leading up to the 2026 World Cup, scholars have articulated a number of critiques of this tournament that are both well founded and well established. These critiques often focus on the excesses and...
Gender Essentialism and U.S. Attitudes Towards the Media Coverage of Women’s Sport
This article examines public attitudes towards the media coverage of women’s sport in a context of recent growth but also continued inequality in both quantity and quality of coverage. Drawing from literature on the role of gender ideology in underpinning the unequal media treatment of women’s sport, we focus on ‘gender essentialist’ ideology as a predictor of attitudes. We draw on 2023 survey data from a national sample of U.S. adults ( N = 2032…

Stability and Change in Sports Fandom Over Time
Scholars have recognized that sports fandom is not static, but temporal and fluid. However, little longitudinal research has traced the development of fandom over time. This analysis makes a new contribution to the sociology of fandom and women’s sport by drawing from interviews with 35 U.S. adults who attended the 2019 Women’s World Cup and were reinterviewed after the 2023 Women’s World Cup to consider how and why fandom of U.S. women’s profess…
Following, watching, and attending
Women's sport has made rapid progress in visibility, and audiences for women's sport are growing. Yet little is known about who women's sport fans are, nor which sports are most popular. This article addresses this gap by leveraging data from two surveys conducted in 2023 and 2024 with adults in the USA ( N = 2032) and the UK ( N = 2302) to present a descriptive demographic profile of those who follow, watch, and attend elite-level women's sporti…
A Lot of Men Have Definitely Gotten Over the Whole 'No One Wants to Watch Women's Sports' Thing
Recent research on the 'feminization' of fandom in men's sport has considered how fans interpret and respond to the increased presence of women in this masculinized social setting. We explore the converse: the masculinization of fandom in women's sport, a feminized social setting. Based on interviews with 35 U.S. women's professional soccer fans in 2019 and 2023, we explore fan perceptions of a greater number of boys and men attending women's gam…
“13 Goals are Cool, Equal Pay is Cooler!”
It’s a Show that Everybody Puts On”
Rush, the week-long process of recruiting for and joining historically White National Panhellenic Conference sororities, is an emotionally heightened process characterized by gender expectations and formal rules that both define a status system and place women into it. Drawing on in-depth interviews with 19 women affiliated with eight National Panhellenic Conference sororities at a large public university in the South, as well as one Greek Life a…

Sexuality, Sports-Related Mistreatment, and U.S. Adults’ Sports Involvement
This study employs descriptive and regression analyses of the National Sports and Society Survey (N = 3,993) to examine the patterns and implications of sexual stigma and prejudice in sports contexts by focusing on U.S. adults’ reports of sports-related mistreatment and involvement. Results indicate that about 1/3 of adults perceive sports as unwelcoming to LGBT athletes and nearly 40% report experiencing sports-related mistreatment; adults who i…
“Why wait?”
Objective The aim of this analysis is to understand why young adult students in the US South marry in college or shortly afterwards. Background While the median age at first marriage in the United States has risen and marriage delay has become culturally normative, a substantial minority of young adults marry in their late teens or early 20's, particularly in the US South. Young adult college students who marry negotiate conflicting imperatives o…
Reconstructing, Challenging, and Negotiating Sex/Gender in Sport
Using data from the National Sports and Society Survey ( N = 3,993), this study considers U.S. public opinion about transgender athletes’ rights, rights for athletes with varied sex characteristics, sex testing, and gender segregation in sports. Social structural location, social group, and ideological characteristics are examined as predictors of these opinions. Results indicated that most U.S. adults seem to support transgender athletes’ rights…
Gender Equality in the “Next Stage” of the “New Age?” Content and Fan Perceptions of English Media Coverage of the 2019 Fifa Women’s World Cup
This article offers an original contribution by examining both the quantity and quality of English print media coverage of the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup and how fans perceive and respond to this coverage. It is the first longitudinal analysis of media coverage of women’s football in the United Kingdom and compares print media coverage between the 2015 and 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cups. We draw on a content analysis of five English national newsp…
The World Cup of Empowerment' and 'They Really Missed the Ball
The FIFA Women's World Cup disseminates ideas about gender, women, and sport to a global audience. I report on a short-term ethnography involving participant observation at the 2019 Women's World Cup and in-depth interviews with fan attendees to examine the gender discourses produced through the tournament and fans' responses to them. Integrating the concept of neoliberal postfeminism with an affective lens, I illustrate how discourses of empower…
“We All Play Pretty Much the Same, Except. . .”
We use the case of a recreational college Quidditch class to examine the consequences of gender-integrated sport for gender essentialist ideology. Data include ethnographic observations and course journal data from 23 first-year undergraduates playing Quidditch over four months. While a gender-integrated sport provided numerous opportunities for participants to witness similarities in performance among men and women, we found only limited challen…
Public Opinions About Paying College Athletes and Athletes Protesting During the National Anthem
Drawing on insights from Critical Race Theory and framing theory, as well as previous research, this study ties together and analyzes public opinions about two racialized and politicized sports-related issues: (1) the financial compensation of college athletes, and (2) athlete protests during the national anthem. Consequently, we highlight racial/ethnic identities, racial attitudes, and political identities as predictors of these public opinions.…
U.S. family cultures of sport and physical activity and 15 year olds’ physical activity, sports participation, and subjective health
Using Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study data (N = 3,011), the present study examines relationships between family cultures of sport and physical activity at age 9 and age 15, 15 year olds’ physical activity, and 15 year olds’ subjective health. We find moderately strong cultures of sport and physical activity; this included common support and encouragement for 15 year olds’ sport and physical activity as well as 15 year olds’ frequent co…
‘A rich white kid sport?’ Hometown socioeconomic, racial, and geographic composition among U.S. women’s professional soccer players
This analysis merges data on women listed on National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) season rosters between 2013 and 2018 with 2000 U.S. Census data to examine socioeconomic, racial, and geographic indicators for players’ hometowns, measured as the places they attended high school. We compare hometown indicators against national averages and between players based on career longevity and national federation subsidization status. Findings show that p…
Gender, Sexual, and Sports Fan Identities
Using data from the National Sports and Society Survey ( N = 3,988), this study analyzes associations between gender, sexual, and sports fan identities. The authors find that only 11% of U.S. adults do not identify as sports fans at all; also, nearly half of U.S. adults identify as quite passionate sports fans. Women and nonbinary adults are less likely to identify as strong sports fans compared with men. Compared with identifying as heterosexual…
Should Athletes Be Allowed to Protest During the National Anthem? An Analysis of Public Opinions Among U.S. Adults
Using descriptive and multiple regression analyses of data from the National Sports and Society Survey ( N = 3,993), this study examines public opinions about athletes’ right to protest during the national anthem. Results suggest that public opinion is now more supportive of athletes being allowed to protest during the anthem, although considerable opposition persists. Black individuals and those who recognize racial/ethnic discrimination in soci…
Becoming Fans
The professionalization, commercialization, and mediatization of women’s football have opened new opportunities for fan attachments, engagements, and identities. Yet limited empirical research has addressed how or why fandom develops for women’s football, particularly in comparative perspective. We rely on in-depth interview data collected with adults in England ( n = 49) and the United States ( n = 53) who attended live matches of the 2019 Women…
Privileging Difference
Although women athletes in professional sport are uniquely positioned to expose the limits of gender essentialist ideology and challenge its relationship with inequality, little empirical research has considered how professional women athletes understand and negotiate gender ideologies. Drawing on 19 in-depth interviews and one e-mail exchange with U.S. women’s professional soccer players, this article finds that sportswomen strategically endorse…
Learning to Lead? Race and Perceived Effects of College on Life Skill Development Among Sportswomen
Integrating the Student-Athlete Climate Study conceptual framework with critical race and intersectionality theories, I examine racial differences in the perceived effects of college on life skill development among college sportswomen. I use nationally representative data from the NCAA’s 2006 Growth, Opportunity, Aspirations, and Learning of Students in College (GOALS) survey to examine whether team and/or campus climate mediate racial difference…
It Goes Hand in Hand with the Parties
Hooking up, or sexual activity outside relationships, is a dominant feature of social life on many college campuses. However, research has yet to explore how social location intersects with campus-level factors to shape students' negotiations of this script. Interview data from 87 undergraduates at an urban commuter university demonstrate the distinction between 'adopting' and 'enacting' sexual scripts. Although the majority of students locate ho…

Yet limited empirical research has addressed how or why fandom develops for women’s football, particularly in comparative perspective. We rely on in-depth interview data collected with adults in England ( n = 49) and the United States ( n = 53) who attended live matches of the 2019 Women…
Business or Cause? Gendered Institutional Logics in Women's Professional Soccer
Despite women's increased participation in sport, women's team sport leagues have yet to find a lasting toehold at the professional level. Using ethnographic data collected with U.S. women's professional soccer in 2011-2012, I situate the work of selling women's soccer in the complex institutional environment of contemporary women's sports organizations. League owners and employees were dually influenced by the hypercommercialized model of succes…

Race, Gender, and Attitudes Toward War in Chicago
Although prior research has documented persistent racial and gender differences in public opinion on war across U.S. military conflicts, there is little understanding as to how race and gender simultaneously shape war opinion. Using data from the 2008 Chicago Area Study, this analysis locates gender within an intersectional examination of black‐white differences in support for the U.S. war in Iraq. “Structural” and “racialized” explanations for b…

Marriage Delay, Time to Play? Marital Horizons and Hooking Up in College
Previous research suggests that an increasing age at first marriage has contributed to the prevalence of sexual hookups on U.S. college campuses. In this article, we use life course and marital horizons theories to analyze the influence of ideal age at first marriage on hooking up among unmarried heterosexual college students. Analyses of the Online College Social Life Survey (N = 17,981) show a positive association between ideal age at first mar…

Gender, Anticipated Family Formation, and Graduate School Expectations Among Undergraduates
From a life course perspective, young adults' anticipations of future family formation transitions may shape their present‐day educational trajectories. Given gender unequal divisions of paid caretaking and domestic labor in heterosexual families, anticipations of family formation may affect women's educational expectations more or differently than men's. We analyze Online College Social Life Survey ( OCSLS ) data from undergraduates at 22 U.S. c…
White Coats, Black Specialists? Racial Divides in the Medical Profession
This study assesses whether racialized patterns of medical specialization persist among a recent cohort of U.S. medical students. Data from the Association of American Medical College's 2004 Graduation Questionnaire (GQ), an annual survey of all graduating U.S. medical students, are employed to explore how factors internal and external to medical education influence specialization patterns among black and white medical school graduates. The data …

A comparison of hometown socioeconomics and demographics for black and white elite football players in the US
Despite widespread perceptions of elite US sport as meritocratic, there is little empirical research on the social origins of those who play college and professional sports in the US or how these vary by race. We use the case of American football, linking Entertainment and Sports Programming Network's national recruit rankings data on incoming college football players from 2007-2016 ( N=929) with 2000 US Census data. Our study compares hometown s…

Opportune Romance
By merging Online College Social Life Survey data from heterosexual students at 21 U.S. colleges and universities (N = 17,897) with campus-level data, this article examines the effects of student body size, density, and racial composition on students’ hookups, dates, and committed relationships. We examine relationship frequency, whether the most recent of each relationship type occurred with a fellow student, and the effects of racial compositio…
Increasing Representation, Maintaining Hierarchy
Despite increases in the number of women entering the medical profession during the past four decades, female medical students remain more likely than their male colleagues to enter less prestigious medical specialties. Data from the Association of American Medical College’s 2004 Graduation Questionnaire are used to test both supply- and demand-side explanations for this pattern among a recent cohort of graduating medical students. Controlling fo…

From Oversight to Autonomy
Expectations of women’s lower competence to men inform divisions of labor and authority in sport organizations. I rely on participant observation and interview data collected with the Momentum, one U.S. women’s professional soccer team, to examine how practices of paternalistic oversight shifted to allow greater autonomy for women. Unexpectedly low home game attendance initiated group sensemaking around the effectiveness of marketing practices. O…
Gendered jocks or equal players? Athletic affiliation and hooking up among college students
Previous research has found sex-specific effects of athletic participation on young adult sexuality, with male athletes reporting increased sexual activity and female athletes reporting lower levels of sexual activity relative to non-athlete peers. Yet research has not examined sexual activity by athletic affiliation beyond quantity, nor considered the normative landscape of non-relational college sexual culture. The current paper examines the re…
