“…Instead, women are placed in a situation in which it appears to be a smarter career move not to promote other women (or events involving women), instead maintaining the status quo of the traditional male dominance in their profession in order to succeed themselves. This concept of fragmented identity can create a scenario in which female sports broadcasters must negotiate between their social identity as a female and their professional identity as a journalist (Genovese, 2015; Hardin, Genovese, & Yu, 2009; Hardin & Shain, 2006).…”

This study examines the amount of coverage given to women’s sports by local television sports broadcasters on Twitter. A total of 19,649 tweets from 201 local sports broadcasters throughout the United States were examined using content analytic methods during a constructed 2-week period. Results demonstrated that while a majority of the local sports broadcasters did tweet about women’s sports, these tweets represented only about 5% of the overall number of messages. Further examination demonstrates that female sports broadcasters tweeted about women’s sports less frequently than male sports broadcasters did. Additionally, broadcasters in smaller cities were more likely to report about women’s sports than those in larger cities. While results are consistent with previous research on gender representation on nationally televised highlight shows, these findings are significant because they demonstrate that there is a relationship between gender of broadcaster and market size in relation to the number of tweets about women’s sports. Additionally, data are from Twitter, in which there are no time constraints that would seemingly limit the amount of women’s sports that could be mentioned by a sportscaster.

“…Female play-by-play commentators of male sports are rare (Jenkins, 1991). The major reason for this situation is prejudice (Hardin et al, 2009;Toro, 2005).…”

This study provides provisional answers to the question, What infl uence does the broadcast medium have on the speech of sports commentators? It answers the question through a comparison of the infl uence of two media on the way in which rugby football commentaries of lineouts are given. Previous linguistic research has examined sports commentary speech largely independent of the effects of the medium in which commentary is broadcast. However it is clear that sports commentaries serve somewhat different purposes in the case that someone can see what is happening and where they cannot. We show that the differences are manifested, for instance, in whether an episode in the game is given commentary at all, the amount of commentary the episode receives, commentators' priorities recounting the various subepisodes of the game they are viewing, and the weight given to color versus play-by-play commentary. In all these cases, radio commentators provide more detailed commentary. It may be, therefore, that as far as the induction into the oral traditions of commentary are concerned, radio is a more demanding apprenticeship and that recruiting television commentators from among radio commentators will lead to a more fl uent television commentary. mentary tends to rise and fall with the pitch of the spectator noise (Kuiper, 1996). Racing commentaries are droned or chanted (Kuiper, 1991). However, in breaks between overs in cricket in England, the play-by-play commentator and his color commentator partner sometimes sound as though they are having a conversation in a private club. Again such prosodic traditions are specifi c to particular sports and regions. Even the prosodies of a play-by-play commentator during the play and when the play is not proceeding are different.

“…There are many studies on social support and social identity in sports. (Babiss & Gangwisch, 2009;Campo, Mackie & Sanchez, 2019;Hagiwara, Iwatsuki, Isogai, Van Raalte & Brewer, 2017;Hardin, Genovese & Yu, 2009;Jacobson, 1979;Kang, Jeon, Kwon & Park, 2015;Kim & Kim, 2019;Rees, Hardy & Freeman, 2007;Underwood, Bond & Baer, 2001). These studies are mostly on the relationship between social support in sports and stress, depression, selfesteem, and performance.…”

This study aims to examine the interaction between the social support perceptions of the football players and their social identity. In the research, a descriptive research model based on the relational analysis technique, which is one of the quantitative research methods, was used. The study group of the research consists of 210 male football players. According to their level, 32 of the football players are professional, and 178 are amateur athletes. In the research, the perceived available support in sport questionnaire, and social identity questionnaire for sports were used as data collection tools. After applying the normality analysis in the data analysis, the data analysis process has started. Path analysis was used to test the hypotheses created in the research. In addition, moderator analysis was applied to evaluate the variables in the research in accordance with the research model. According to the results of the research model, emotional support and esteem support had a significant positive effect on social identity (β2= 0.01* and β2= .009*), and informational and tangible support did not have a significant effect (β2= .524 and β2=.475). In conclusion, it was concluded that social support in sports has a significant effect on social identity (p< 0.01).
