Football has traditionally been an institution hostile toward
sexual minorities. Boys and men in the sport have deployed high
levels of homophobia for multiple reasons. However, the
ground-breaking research within this book shows that intolerant
attitudes toward gay men are increasingly being challenged. Based
on unprecedented access to Premier League academies, Inclusive
Masculinities in Contemporary Football: Men in the Beautiful Game
explores these changing attitudes toward homophobia in football
today. Revealing a range of masculine identities never before
empirically measured at this level of football, this book discusses
the implications for the complex and enclosed structures of
professional sport, and extends our understanding of contemporary
masculinity. It also offers fresh insights to the importance of
"banter" in the development of relationships and identities. This
culture of banter often plays a paradoxical role, both facilitating
and disrupting friendships formed between male footballers. As the
first title in the Routledge Critical Studies of Men and
Masculinities Series, this book is fascinating reading for all
students and scholars interested in football and the study of
gender, sexuality and the sociology of sport.
