“…Of the 21 articles, 10 (48%) simply mentioned CRT instead of integrating it within the framing or analysis of the studies. In other words, CRT was only discussed briefly about its relevancy in previous studies (Harrison & Coakley, 2020;Markula, 2019;Norman et al, 2022;Wilson & VanLuijk, 2019), future studies (Comeaux & Martin, 2018;George, 2023;McGuire-Adams et al, 2022), or how critics have attacked CRT and how to protect the school of thought (Kusz & Hodler, 2023;Mower, 2023;Newman, 2019). Similarly, three of the four book reviews only briefly mentioned CRT or an extension of the framework (Hodler, 2018;Olive, 2020;Posbergh, 2021).…”

Critical race theory (CRT) is a powerful framework and methodological tool for sport scholars and practitioners to incorporate into their work. While CRT tenets vary depending on discipline, individuals utilizing the framework understand the permanence of racism and how it is institutionalized within various social structures. In honor of the 40th year of the Sociology of Sport Journal, we conducted a review of the journal to assess how CRT has been used among sport sociologists. After reflecting on the 40-year history of Sociology of Sport Journal, we argue for the continued use of CRT and CRT extensions to fulfill the maximum potential of this foundational framework to achieve its goals of emancipation, social justice, and racial equity. We conclude by discussing the future of CRT in sport sociology research and practice in a post “racial reckoning” society, specifically within the U.S. context.

“…When written and presented in a way that is accessible for all ( 20 , 21 ), sport sociology can and should add nuanced reality that informs sport policy and social practice ( 22 ). This way of studying sport has the potential to transform how people experience sport and how sport experiences people.…”

Activism for intersectional justice in sport sociology: Using intersectionality in research and in the classroom

This perspective paper considers what scholars and teachers of sport sociology can (un)learn by applying the concept of intersectionality in research and in the classroom. I focus on contemporary forms of activism in the context of sport in the United States (U.S.) and demonstrate intersectionality's utility through three examples of athlete activism from the past 10 years led by sports people. Although each example is focused on a particular axis of difference and domination, such as sexual harassment (read: gender) and Black Lives Matter (read: race), I show that the cause at stake is always already intersectional. This has consequences for the field of sport studies/sport sociology; in engaging in intersectional research, sport sociologists and researchers alike can inform policymakers in sport in the decision-making process. In the final part of the paper, I offer insight from my positionality as a graduate student through reflection on how I—and my colleagues—might understand our role within the “matrix of domination” that characterizes both our subject and our field. As novice sport scholars, graduate students can translate the theoretical meanings and purpose of intersectionality into lived reality by being intentional in what and how we teach and research. In this case, I suggest that intersectional justice in sport does not just mean on the track/field/court; it can also mean in the classroom, thereby expanding our notion of what activism “in sport” is and looks like.

“…The meanings and implications of Kaepernick's protest have not gone unexamined in the sport studies field. In providing valuable insight into long-standing tensions between politics, nationalism, patriotism, citizenship, meanings of race/racism, and sport, scholars have used his protest to discuss the importance of a publicly engaged sport sociology (Newman, 2019;Walton-Fisette, 2018), examine White undergraduate students' perspectives of race and activism in sport (Chaplin & Montez de Oca, 2019), and consider the traditional media's coverage of athlete activism (Boykoff & Carrington, 2019;Montez de Oca & Suh, 2019). By focusing on memes, we seek to add to this growing body of literature on Colin Kaepernick, while also contributing to the rise of scholarship examining how sport plays a role in the creation and dissemination of the politics of the alt-right (Falcous et al, 2019;Kusz, 2019).…”

On September 1, 2016, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick kneeled for the playing of the national anthem arguing that he was “not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color,” noting that “this is bigger than football and it would be selfish . . . to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder.” Kaepernick received a tremendous amount of backlash for this action, and many White fans/media pundits accused him of disrespecting the flag and U.S. military. This act took place during the very contentious presidential election in the United States between eventual winner Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. During this election, the Trump campaign mobilized discourses of White nationalism, and even employed alt-right member Steve Bannon as Trump’s chief advisor for a period. The Trump campaign capitalized on a set of White backlash politics that had been growing since the 1990s, and the reactions to Kaepernick’s protest cannot be separated from this larger context. In this article, we critically read internet memes of Colin Kaepernick to gain insight into the relationship between race, gender, and the nation during the rise of Donald Trump to the U.S. presidency.
