Abstract

In this article we draw on critical theory to discuss how power frames the media “narratives” of Eniola Aluko, a Black, female footballer who accused an established (White) football coach of bullying, harassment, and racial comments. We critically discuss data analyzed from 80 print media articles from three British newspapers (with circulation figures ranging from 1.4 million to 135,000 a day), from August 6, 2017 to October 19, 2017. In our findings, we discuss the four dominant themes identified from our analysis to examine how race, gender, and belonging frame Aluko in ways that seek to position her as an outsider and question her legitimacy in the White male space of football. We demonstrate how frames are shaped by, as well as reinforce, existing power relations, and influence how bullying, and racial harassment are represented in media accounts. We argue this type of analysis has implications for our understanding of how the narratives bullying and harassment in sport can be reframed along dominant power lines that question the legitimacy of athletes’ accounts and experiences.

平面媒体对足球协会欺凌和骚扰的叙述:以埃尼奥拉·阿鲁科为例
在这篇文章中,我们利用批判理论来讨论权力是如何塑造媒体对Eniola Aluko的“叙述”的。Eniola Aluko是一名黑人女足球运动员,她指控一名老牌(白人)足球教练欺凌、骚扰和种族主义言论。我们批判性地讨论了从2017年8月6日到2017年10月19日,来自三家英国报纸的80篇纸媒文章(每天的发行量从140万到13.5万)的分析数据。在我们的研究结果中,我们讨论了从我们的分析中确定的四个主要主题,以研究种族,性别和归属如何以寻求将她定位为局外人的方式来框架Aluko,并质疑她在白人男性足球领域的合法性。我们展示了框架是如何被现有的权力关系塑造和加强的,以及如何影响欺凌和种族骚扰在媒体报道中的表现。我们认为,这种类型的分析对我们理解体育中欺凌和骚扰的叙述如何沿着质疑运动员叙述和经历的合法性的主导权力线进行重构具有重要意义。
