These events and the post-match commentary around them put the Cameroon Women’s National Team at the center of a global mass-mediatized spectacle. This chapter examines the dominant media frames emerging from international media regarding the dispute and examines differences between coverage from major newspapers and football-specific news websites. The authors also explore how African feminist thought and intersectionality contextualize the dominant frames across global sports media.

Abstract The world is witnessing the highest levels of human displacement on record. Journalists ... more Abstract The world is witnessing the highest levels of human displacement on record. Journalists play an active role shaping the evolution and magnitude of a crisis as well as how they frame refugees in media. The Refugee Olympic Team (EOR) was introduced by IOC President Thomas Bach in October 2015. The purpose of this paper was to examine how the EOR team was referenced in relation to the current global refugee crisis across international news media during the 2016 Rio and 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympic Games. We conducted a content analysis of the EOR team and athletes as they appeared in international news media from October 2015 until August 2021.After removing duplicate articles, the analysis capped at 310 original articles from 23 countries. Three central frames emerged from the international news media to characterize the EOR team and athletes: disrupting the crisis frame, Olympic celebrity humanitarian frame, and flat frame. Thomas Bach and representatives from the IOC and UNHCR were quoted most often in over 50% of all articles. EOR athlete, Yusra Mardini, of Syria, was the most individually covered and quoted athlete. Based off our media analysis, we discuss whether the Olympics public involvement with the global refugee crisis can be viewed as a form of celebrity humanitarianism, which rather than “helping” communities in the global South, can reproduce the same hierarchies and inequalities.

The feud originated in November 2017, when LaVar’s son—University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) player LiAngelo Ball—was detained in Hangzhou, China, for shoplifting along with two of his UCLA teammates. After some tense moments, the three players were released and flown back to the United States. The U.S. President Donald Trump took credit, leading to a prolonged, prickly exchange with LaVar Ball. This article analyzes six major U.S. newspapers and six sports-specific outlets that covered the Trump–Ball feud. First, we identify the predominant frames that appeared in coverage. Second, we track whose views were included in the news and how sourcing inflected the appearance of particular frames. The incident highlights how racialized language—if coded and dog whistled—enters public discussion t...
