An analysis of Nike’s official statements about the line, and its advertising campaigns, illuminates how Nike encourages an incitement to visibility for LGBTQ + individuals without attending to the material consequences of doing so. The author also unpacks how Nike yokes the embodiment of idealized identity traits to its products, a process identified as commodity actualization. The goal is to highlight the role that market activities play in supplanting traditional activism and to make the unstable relationship between visibility, truth, and equality legible.KEYWORDS: LGBTQ+visibilitysports medianeoliberalismcommodity activism AcknowledgementsThe author thanks Dr. Hollis Griffin and Dr. Nicky Lewis for their thoughtful feedback and advice on this article, as well as the anonymous reviewers for their generous recommendations.

When other terms are used, they are done so to honor their usage by individuals who are quoted or have specific job titles that utilize a different acronym. 2012 is highlighted here as it was the year Be True began and the start of hypermediated “coming outs” of active professional athletes, such as: Megan Rapinoe (2012), Brittney Griner (2013), Jason Collins (2013), and Michael Sam (2014).2 GLAAD, “Accelerating Acceptance 2023,” 2023, https://assets.glaad.org/m/23036571f611c54/original/Accelerating-Acceptance-2023.pdf; GLAAD, “Accelerating Acceptance 2018,” 2018, https://www.glaad.org/files/aa/Accelerating%20Acceptance%202018.pdf; Nadia Suleman, “Young Americans Are Increasingly ‘Uncomfortable’ With LGBTQ Community, GLAAD Study Shows,” Time, June 25, 2019, https://time.com/5613276/glaad-acceptance-index-lgbtq-survey/; GLAAD, “Accelerating Acceptance 2020,” 2020, https://www.glaad.org/sites/default/files/Accelerating%20Acceptance%202020.pdf; The Human Rights Project, “LGBTQ+ Americans under attack: A report and reflection on the 2023 state legislative session,” 2023, https://hrc-prod-requests.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Anti-LGBTQ-Legislation-Impact-Report.pdf; Movement Advancement Project, “Bans on Transgender Youth Participation in Sports,” 2023, https://www.lgbtmap.org/equality-maps/sports_participation_bans.3 Throughout this article I deliberately use communities, rather than community, to signal the diversity of bodies and experiences navigated by LGBTQ+ individuals.

{"title":"Neoliberal masculinity in the Ultimate Fighting Championship","authors":"Jennifer McClearen","doi":"10.1080/14791420.2023.2268693","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/14791420.2023.2268693","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTIn this article, the author examines neoliberal masculinity in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) in the aftermath of Donald Trump’s election. She uses neoliberal masculinity as a framework for understanding how and why the UFC promotes diverse masculinities—including alt-right white masculinity—who can brand themselves for an array of domestic and international markets. She argues that neoliberal masculinity requires entrepreneurial subjects who view the market as the ultimate moral authority and discourage athletes from challenging the sports-media-complex's labor exploitation. The UFC ironically requires a docile athlete-worker that is incongruent with the sport’s reputation for hypermasculine performances of power.KEYWORDS: Neoliberal masculinitysports mediaUFCMMAwhite masculinity AcknowledgementsThe author would like to thank Kate Osmond for editing the manuscript, Mia Fischer for offering substantive feedback on an early version of the article, and the peer reviewers for such generative suggestions for improvementDisclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 Melanie E.

MMA fighters develop skills in striking, grappling, and wrestling instead of specializing in one form of martial art. The UFC is the largest MMA promotion in the world.3 Ronda Rousey was the first woman to be signed to the UFC in 2012. She became one of the promotions most popular fighters. MAGA refers to the “Make America Great Again” slogan used by Donald Trump and his acolytes.

May 21, 2019, https://www.ufc.com/news/ufc-25-years-short-docuseries-premieres-youtube.5 I use the term “white masculinity” to signal the ways that white supremacy and the patriarchy intersect in the contemporary moment to shore up and maintain power instead of “white” as a generic category pertaining to all men racialized as white.
