Racist abuse may at one time have been hurled across the sports
stadium or scrawled on a wall. But in today's social media world it
can be published to millions, from almost anywhere, in an instant.
Sport, Racism and Social Media provides the first significant,
academic account of how social media is shaping the nature of
racisms in sport. Among the questions it addresses are: How, and
why, is racism being expressed across different social media
platforms and sporting contexts? To what extent is social media
providing new platforms for traditional prejudices or actually
creating new forms of racism? How can campaigners, authorities and
individuals best challenge and counter these forms of racism?
Combining analysis of social media content with in-depth interviews
with athletes, fans, campaigners and officials, and including
extensive case studies of soccer, boxing, the NHL, the NBA, and
cricket, the book provides important new insights on a familiar but
ever changing story. It is essential reading for any student,
researcher, media professional, administrator or policy-maker with
an interest in sport, new media or the issue of racism in wider
society.
