Abstract Unlike many top athletes in other Olympic sports, professional footballers in the first and second German football leagues generate disproportionately high incomes during their active sports careers. Due to these high incomes, it should be possible for players to save sufficient money during their sports career so that they can autonomously secure their lives afterwards. Despite their high incomes, however, not all players are able to build up sustainable assets. A study from the German players' union VDV shows that the surveyed players believe that about 20% of active professionals in Germany have financial problems regardless of the league that they play in, and they expect that every second player is threatened with financial problems after the end of his career. The paper aims to identify and systematically combine economic and sociological explanation mechanisms to analyse certain aspects of the saving and consumption behaviour of professional footballers. Finally, the methodological consequences for an empirical study are discussed and specific analytical units with research-guiding questions are derived.

Abstract Across Europe, national professional football leagues have seen increasing numbers of players from other EU states, while the Champions League and the Europa League have become a focal point for many teams. This article seeks to investigate how far this Europeanisation on the organisational level of football is reflected in identities and discourses of fans. We developed a framework to analyse the Europeanisation of identities among football fans. In the empirical part, we conducted a qualitative content analysis of fan discussions on publicly available message boards among fans of four first league teams in England and Austria. Our empirical findings indicate that fans’ identities are to some extent Europeanised, albeit in very different ways and to varying degrees. The participation in European club competitions and the Europeanisation of player markets seem to shape fan perceptions in that respect.

Abstract Previous research has shown that consuming media broadcasts of national athletes participating in international sporting competitions can inspire national pride and heighten identification with the nation. Extending these accounts, this paper asks whether major sporting events can also shape meanings attached to the nation; specifically how strongly certain traits and characteristics are associated with the collective. Since prior research shows that TV broadcasts of international sporting competitions prioritise their own nation’s athletes and frequently draw on national stereotypes in their commentary, we hypothesise that these sportscasts have the potential to heighten the association of the nation with national stereotypes in TV viewers. Using large-scale, representative panel data from Germany, the paper tests these assumptions. Findings demonstrate that German TV viewers associated their nation more strongly with characteristics like achievement, diligence and solidarity during the 2016 UEFA football championship than at a baseline assessment about four weeks earlier. We find more pronounced effects among certain football-affine groups, who are socially and emotionally more strongly involved. Even two months after the conclusion of the event, a stronger association of the German nation with these particular traits was detectable in these groups, lending support to the notion that effects are more than just a short-term by-product of national euphoria.

Abstract Not all claims for ‘racial justice’ are created equal. While ‘racial justice’ became an important term deployed by various sport figures and organisations, there have been few deliberations of its actual meanings and/or connotations. I argue that the underlying goals, visions, and theories of change of different ‘racial justice’ enunciations can vary significantly and that it is therefore urgent to unpick the seemingly assumed coherence across different discursive spaces. In this reflective piece, I tentatively map the possible interpretations of ‘racial justice’ enunciated in sport and discuss the potentials and limitations of this term in the long struggles towards creating a (sport) world free of racial injustices.
