Abstract: On June 21, 2021, Las Vegas Raiders defensive lineman Carl Nassib made history through a short video posted on Instagram, telling his followers, "I just want to take a quick moment to say that I'm gay." With that simple post, Nassib became the first active player in the NFL to come out publicly in the 101-year history of the league. Citing a day in which he hopes "videos like this and the whole coming-out process are just not necessary," Nassib also noted in his post that he had "agonized over this moment for the last 15 years." He also announced he was donating $100,000 to the Trevor Project, a nonprofit focused on suicide prevention among LGBTQ youth.Within minutes, Nassib's announcement was shared across social ...

Abstract: The Tokyo Olympics continued a trend of a more inclusive Olympics, as women comprised a record-breaking 49% of athletes, prompting the International Olympic Committee to dub the event the "first ever gender-balanced Olympics" (International Olympic Committee, 2021). Team USA sent more female athletes (329) than male athletes (284) for the third time in history, after the games in London (2012) and Rio (2016) (Anzidei, 2021). Within the competition, American women, who made up a little less than 54% of Team USA, won 59% of the nation's gold medals (23 in women's events versus 16 in men's events) and were involved in 64% of the nation's total overall medals (66 medals in women's events and another six for mixed ...

Abstract: Atlanta United FC is a soccer club in Atlanta, Georgia. It was founded in 2014 and joined play in 2017 in Major League Soccer (MLS), the top soccer league in America. In 2016, when the team was still building its roster, the club sold 22,000 season tickets for the inaugural season. During its first season, Atlanta United set a league record for average home attendance—48,200 people—that surpassed season records in the NBA, NHL, and MLB (Lamle, 2017; Panizo, 2017). In Atlanta United's case, it can be suggested that on-field results did not help the club create such an extensive fan base, because the team had record-breaking season tickets sales before it ever played a game.Darren Eales, president of Atlanta United ...

Abstract: Over the years, the examination of source credibility has been a popular topic in sports-media research (e.g., Hahn & Cummins, 2014; Lim et al., 2012; Mudrick & Lin, 2017). Messages that are recognized as credible have substantial value, as credibility has been linked to positive audience attitudes and future consumption intentions (Slater & Rouner, 1996). This is integral in the sports context, considering the popularity of the genre within news. Furthermore, sports-media consumption is driven heavily by highly identified sports fans, due to their robust desire to consume game programming and analyses (Gantz et al., 2006). However, little academic work has focused on sports radio, a popular genre in the United ... Read More PubDate: 2024-02-23T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: After the deaths of Travyon Martin, Michael Brown, Eric Garner, and countless others by 2016, outrage and calls to action from athletes regarding the treatment of Black Americans sharply increased. This increase in athlete activism culminated with Colin Kaepernick (and over 300 other athletes from the NFL and other sports) kneeling during the national anthem. Subsequently, then president Donald Trump called the protesting athletes "sons of bitches." Following that rhetoric, all 32 NFL teams issued statements on the situation and defended players' rights to freedom of speech. While the Black players were met with strong resistance for their actions (Schmidt et al., 2019), the White owners were praised for just ... Read More PubDate: 2024-02-23T00:00:00-05:00
