“…Some tweets emphasized how the pandemic had disrupted their main ways of socializing with other people and establishing ties with their family and peers, as Parnell et al [ 62 ] identified. Others referred to the desire to recover positive social and personal outcomes assigned to sports as experienced before the outbreak that, according to Coakley [ 63 ], reminded one of the socialization effects taken for granted in Western societies since the emergence of modern sport. These messages continue to show how people value sport as a self-evident good and the inspirational role they assign to it for the entire society, affirming what Delaney [ 64 ] identified as a functionalist view of sport that supports the social order.…”

The spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus has transformed many aspects of people’s daily life, including sports. Social networks have been flooded on these issues. The present study aims to analyze the tweets produced relating to sports and COVID-19. From the end of January to the beginning of May 2020, over 4,000,000 tweets on this subject were downloaded through the Twitter search API. Once the duplicates, replicas, and retweets were removed, 119,253 original tweets were analyzed. A quantitative–qualitative content analysis was used to study the selected tweets. Posts dynamics regarding sport and exercise evolved according to the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdown, shifting from considering sport as a healthy bastion to an activity exposed to disease like any other. Most media professional sporting events received great attention on Twitter, while grassroots and women’s sport were relegated to a residual role. The analysis of the 30 topics identified focused on the social, sporting, economic and health impact of the pandemic on the sport. Sporting cancellations, leisure time and socialization disruptions, club bankruptcies, sports training and athletes’ uncertain career development were the main concerns. Although general health measures appeared in the tweets analyzed, those addressed to sports practice were relatively scarce. Finally, this study shows the importance of Twitter as a means of conveying social attitudes towards sports and COVID-19 and its potential to generate alternative responses in future stages of the pandemic.

“…Consequently, sports club activities could be seen as a protective factor in young boys. Nevertheless, as the results are based on a cross‐sectional study, it is not possible to assume simply socialisation effects through sports club activities (among others, Coakley, 2007). It may also be possible that boys who engaged in sports club activities were already satisfied with their body and merely looked for a context in which to confirm their body ideals.…”

Body dissatisfaction is a phenomenon that may already occur in childhood and is linked to a variety of psychosocial risks. As the role of physical activity in the context of body dissatisfaction is still ambivalent, a cross-sectional study with 602 normal weight children (50.2% girls; M = 9.23 years; SD = 0.79) was conducted. The children filled in the MoMo-Questionnaire, including items about their physical activities and motives for being physically active, as well as Bender's Body Esteem and Muscularity Concern Scale with the three subscales "body satisfaction", "weight and shape concerns", and "muscularity concerns". Independent t-tests revealed that girls were less worried about muscularity than boys (M= 1.94, SD= 1.11 vs. M= 3.12, SD= 1.43; t(560) = 11.33, p < .001, Cohen's d = 0.92), whereas girls showed greater weight and shape concerns than boys (M= 2.24, SD= 0.97 vs. M= 2.05, SD= 0.92; t(549) = 2.32, p = .02, d = 0.20). In boys, physical activity is associated with less muscularity, weight, and shape concerns. Body satisfaction increases with health and fitness motives. In girls, the role of physical activity is ambivalent: girls who engage in sports do not differ in body dissatisfaction from non-active girls. In sportive girls, weight and shape concerns increased with more health and fitness motives. Finally, the study provides first insights into body dissatisfaction and the different role of physical activity in boys and girls in childhood.

“…Its rituals, rules, norms, flow, and even its athletes all follow structured and patterned ways of playing the game that work to create social stability. Because of this, sports have always been a successful means of socializing children by teaching them to follow rules and order (Coakley 1996; Hasbrook 1999). On the other hand, performatives tend to defy convention and favor confrontation.…”

Lakota basketball and racism: Performance, performativity, and engaged acrimony

SummarySporting contests between communities actively engaged in societal struggle comprise an event I call “engaged acrimony.” In these sporting contests, ideas of sport as promoting harmony get tested and often give way to demonstrations of vitriol that mirror actual relations. In this article, I discuss Lakota basketball teams from Pine Ridge Indian Reservation as they played against neighboring white teams, examining how their responses to racism were safely expressed within and around sporting events. I analyze two of the best‐known instances of engaged acrimony using Turner's sense of performance and Butler's theory of performativity. In doing so, I offer an understanding of how Native communities can fashion an empowering response to racism.
