Stories of Sports: Critical Literacy in Media Production, Consumption, and Dissemination discusses how media demonstrates privilege, policing, stereotypes, confirmation bias, and objectification in a world where the role of athletics in Western society speaks to privilege and power. Contributors use a critical media lens to analyze texts, including newspapers, magazines, film, television, social media, and sportscasts to demonstrate to readers the ways in which sports stories reinforce or disrupt patterns of power and the ways that power is enacted. This book questions the role of the sports-industrial complex in our society and argues that, while healthy competition and physical health can come from bodily exertion, corruption can contaminate these benefits with the wielding of influence and the acquisition of cultural and financial capital. Contributors examine how the ways that resources are allocated, the coverage of certain sports and athletes, and how viewers view competitive arenas speak to power and privilege in ways that can affect both athletes and athletic stakeholders, highlighting the importance of critically examining sports media. Scholars of media studies and sports will find this book particularly useful.

This book offers a helpful introduction to the practice of critical media literacy (CML). The anthology is intended for an audience of secondary school teachers, youth coaches, and general readers who consume sport media and may wonder about what is missing and why. The first chapter provides an excellent overview of CML while also outlining a clear, practical application of the concept and related analysis to the media representations of Colin Kaepernick's activism during the performance of the US national anthem throughout the 2016 National Football League season.... Another chapter creatively approaches representations of diabetic athletes using a CML lens.... Overall, this is a helpful introductory text that is well suited for its target audience. Recommended.
