Sport, Media and Discrimination provides critical, inter-disciplinary and international perspectives on how sports media constructs and reinforces discrimination in contemporary societies.

The book argues that the importance of sport within modern culture means sports media has a powerful role to play in circulating, and combatting, potentially harmful ideas. Furthermore, the recent explosion of online and social media-related discrimination makes the understanding and tackling of these problems a matter of social importance and urgency. Including theoretical and empirically-informed contributions from leading researchers from around the world, the book examines four core themes: diversity and the sports media; sports media representations and receptions; social media, sport and discrimination; and Esports and discrimination. Featuring fascinating contemporary cases including amateur footballers, ethnicity and sports media; gender imbalance in Australian sports media; the legal regulation of social media; and the digital representation of Black women footballers in the FIFA videogame, the book offers a clear sense of the key issues and questions in this field, while offering potential solutions and ways forward.
