Stories of Sports: Critical Literacy in Media Production, Consumption, and Dissemination explores how media perpetuates privilege, policing, stereotypes, confirmation bias, and objectification in a world where sports play a significant role in Western society. Through a critical media lens, contributors analyze various texts, including newspapers, magazines, films, television shows, social media, and sportscasts, to demonstrate how sports stories reinforce or challenge power dynamics. The book questions the role of the sports-industrial complex in our society and argues that while healthy competition and physical health can be derived from physical exertion, corruption can taint these benefits by influencing power and acquiring cultural and financial capital. Contributors examine how resources are allocated, coverage of specific sports and athletes, and viewers' perspectives on competitive arenas, highlighting the importance of critically examining sports media. This book is particularly valuable for scholars of media studies and sports, providing insights into the ways in which media shapes and reflects societal attitudes towards sports and athletes.
