In hindsight, one might argue that when Communication & Sport published its inaugural issue in 2013, social media received insufficient attention by essay authors – leading names in the field – in their assessment of the phenomena to which scholars should be attentive in the coming decade. Social media was not entirely absent, of course. For instance, Walter Gantz, in his overview and reflection on the state of the field relating to sports fanship, framed social media and other interactive technologies as increasingly playing a facilitating role for “expression, competition, attention, fun and connectivity” (2013, p. 183). Raymond Boyle, in his assessment of journalism and digital culture, wrote, “Taking the long view of communications culture, social media can be seen as part of an evolving tradition within sports journalism, that offers aspects of change, but also continuity” (2013, p. 94). But he added this, “once the genie of social media is ‘out of the bottle,’ it is out for good” (p. 94). Out of the bottle, indeed. Just a year later, Editor-in-Chief Lawrence A. Wenner convened a handful of scholars to address opportunities and challenges in what he described as a “striking rise” (2014, p. 103) in the number of submissions focused on Twitter and sport. In his editorial essay titled “Much Ado (or Not) About Twitter? Assessing an Emergent Communication and Sport Research Agenda,” Wenner expressed concerns (shared by others, including the two current editors of this journal) that social-media-focused research risked being too enamored with the platform (e.g., Twitter) while being inattentive to wider cultural phenomena and the need for such studies to address important theoretical questions central to communication and sport.
事后看来，有人可能会说，2013年《通信与体育》创刊号出版时，在评估未来十年学者们应该关注的现象时，社交媒体没有得到论文作者(该领域的领军人物)足够的关注。当然，社交媒体并非完全缺席。例如，Walter Gantz在他对体育粉丝领域现状的概述和反思中，将社交媒体和其他互动技术视为越来越多地在“表达、竞争、关注、乐趣和连接”方面发挥促进作用(2013年，第183页)。雷蒙德·博伊尔在他对新闻和数字文化的评估中写道:“从传播文化的长远角度来看，社交媒体可以被视为体育新闻中不断发展的传统的一部分，它提供了变化的方面，但也提供了连续性”(2013年，第94页)。但他补充说，“一旦社交媒体的精灵‘从瓶子里出来’，它就永远消失了”(第94页)。的确是从瓶子里出来的。仅仅一年后，主编劳伦斯·a·温纳(Lawrence a . Wenner)召集了一些学者，讨论了他所描述的以Twitter和体育为主题的投稿数量“显著上升”(2014年，第103页)所带来的机遇和挑战。在他的社论文章《Twitter有多麻烦(还是没有)?》“评估新兴的传播和体育研究议程，”温纳表达了担忧(其他人也有同感，包括本杂志的两位现任编辑)，即以社交媒体为重点的研究可能过于迷恋平台(例如，Twitter)，而忽视了更广泛的文化现象，以及对此类研究解决传播和体育中心重要理论问题的需求。

This study investigated how Chinese media employed discursive legitimation strategies to incorporate the atypical identities of Quan Hongchan and Gu Eileen into the party-state’s cultural and emotional governance. A critical discourse analysis revealed that multifaceted tensions were (re)produced in media constructions of these two remarkable sporting heroines. By portraying Quan as an exemplar of “socialist filial daughter,” Chinese media hoped to mobilize underclass youth to make strong commitment to nation building. These discursive efforts nevertheless made Quan’s self-empowerment cruelly optimistic insofar as the intersection of her bodily vulnerability, excessive social expectations, and state patriarchal paternalism was concerned. In contrast, Chinese media portrayed Gu as a “neoliberal all-capable princess with Chinese characteristics” to alleviate social discontent regarding the upper class’s unlimited transnational mobility and capital accumulation. Anti-Occidentalist discourses were intertwined with Western-imported self-entrepreneurship in Gu’s case, reflecting the party-state’s anxiety and desire to nurture cosmopolitan subjects. The parallel inclusion of Quan’s and Gu’s ostensibly incommensurable upbringings into the “sporting superpower” narratives, in turn, demonstrated the significance of discursive legitimation for Chinese media to construct “ideologically correct” sporting hero(in)es in the global neoliberal era.

Middle Aged Man in Lycra (MAMIL) is a cultural phenomenon associated with a gendered and conspicuous practice that can be inclusive by attracting individuals not previously engaged in physical activities as well as exclusive due to its gender and socio-economic conformity. Inspired by the works of Linda Hutcheon and Judith Butler, we argue that the MAMIL is an ironic figure constituting a complex and multifaceted character deeply embedded in a particular cultural context. By analyzing a TV advertising spot for Tour de France 2021 which embraces the MAMIL, the purpose of this study is to illustrate how ironic communication is productive as it leads to multiple performativities of irony. We identify four performativities in the spot which are: Irony as a way to cope with an aging male body; Irony as a way to identify with competitive elite sportsmen; (Self-) irony as enabling an exclusive male community and masculinity through humor; and Irony as legitimizing mass media consumption of cycling. We argue that the irony reaches beyond a mere humorous stance and serves a legitimizing and preservative function of road cycling as a male-dominated terrain.

This study utilized a two-tiered, thematic and structural narrative analysis to understand the ways transgender, gender non-conforming (TGNC) athletes story their experiences of sport. All participants (N = 20) self-identified as TGNC and as athletes. A thematic narrative analysis of semi-structured interviews revealed several convergent narratives (i.e., gender sanctioning, binary gender survival, gender transition and disclosure, and gender affirming) within TGNC athlete stories. A secondary structural analysis of evaluation statements in each story offered insight into what master narratives within sport are (re)producing binary gender structures and as a result excluding non-binary athletes from participation and inclusion. The structural analysis also uncovered counter narratives within TGNC athlete stories that challenged the binarized structures of sport. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed in relation to how master narratives might be altered to foster gender inclusion beyond the binary.

An increasing number of athletes are speaking out on different social issues. There is also a growing acceptance and expectations of athletes utilizing their influence to push for social change. In recent years, some athletes have started disclosing their mental illness and raising awareness of mental health. This study investigates Twitter user data on Naomi Osaka’s withdrawal from the French Open due to her mental health concerns, as well as examines how different Twitter sources or handles (e.g., athlete vs. news media) further shape public responses. Both thematic analysis and sentiment analysis were conducted on Twitter data to identify emergent themes and audience sentiment towards the case. Findings reveal growing positive reception of athletes’ mental health disclosures, athletes’ behavior as a form of advocacy, and utilization of social media to amplify activism efforts. The results also extend the athlete activism literature by showing how message sources shape public reactions differently. Findings provide implications for athletes and relevant stakeholders to effectively navigate through the situation by creating and delivering messages to their target audiences.

It has long been held that sport functions as a site of identity and belonging. Identity is also a key element that lays the framework for elite sport and social gathering as well as fan identification with teams and athletic figureheads (athletes and coaches) associated with their favored team. Sports fans often exercise identity in the communal bonding experiences of sport, including watching and attending games and other sports programming in groups. Outside of sporting events themselves, perhaps the most prominent sport-centric community and identity-building spectacle is ESPN's "College GameDay." First aired in 1987 as a rundown of college football scores and commentary, the popular show is now known for its in-depth analysis of high-stakes football match-ups, predictions of game outcomes, celebrity guest pickers who select the team they believe will win during the morning show, and the quirky signs made by fans who strive to be televised or featured on GameDay’s social media platforms. I argue that these popular elements of the show offer fans the opportunity to enact and express identities of hegemonic masculinity in widespread and potentially problematic ways.

The rise of online hate speech in sports is a growing concern, with fans, players and officials subject to racist, sexist and homophobic abuse (in addition to many other prejudices) via social media platforms. While hate speech and discrimination have always been problems in sports, the growth of social media has seen them exacerbated exponentially. As a consequence, policy makers, sport governing bodies and grassroots anti-hate organisations are largely left playing catch-up with the rapidly shifting realm of online hate. Scholars have attempted to fill this vacuum with research into this topic, but such is the evolving nature of the issue that research has been diverse and fragmentary. We offer a scoping review into the scholarship of online hate in sport in order to encourage and facilitate further research into this urgent issue. Our review will achieve this through offering a comprehensive cataloguing of previously employed methodologies, case studies and conclusions. In doing so, it will not only equip future researchers with a concise overview of existing research in the field, but also illuminate areas and approaches in need of further examination.

This qualitative textual analysis considers “voice” in a new sports media platform Just Women’s Sports. Using communicative injustice and collective voice as its theoretical framework, this study considers whose voices are represented in women’s sports media and how those voices are represented. The unique position of Just Women’s Sports as a news outlet independent from mixed-gender sports media outlets and funded by venture capital investments makes it an interesting case study to consider new avenues in sports media production. The findings of this study indicate that Just Women’s Sports’s voice consists of diverse women who promote an inclusive and activist community. Furthermore, this study provides a theoretical intervention in the study of women’s sports media by introducing communicative injustice as an informative theoretical lens.
