Abstract

This article analyzes the Fox Sports 1 sports debate program Speak for Yourself. The article analyzes the thematic frames the show utilizes to espouse and reinforce sport as a site of conservative value-making and male bonding. In using an interracial male pairing of Colin Cowherd and Jason Whitlock, the show mimics similarly popular debate programs on rival network ESPN, such as Pardon the Interruption and First Take. However, Whitlock in particular advances a unique brand of Black conservatism, and his clashes with progressive activists and other black guests represent intraracial tensions among Black sport media members. This paper argues Speak for Yourself brings Newscorp’s conservative messaging to a nominally apolitical space in sport media.

"为自己代言福克斯体育一台》、重塑体育保守主义以及特朗普时代的 "坚持体育"

本文分析了福克斯体育一台的体育辩论节目《为自己代言》。文章分析了该节目所利用的主题框架，以宣扬和强化体育运动作为保守价值观和男性纽带的场所。节目采用了科林-考赫德（Colin Cowherd）和杰森-惠特洛克（Jason Whitlock）这对跨种族男性组合，模仿了竞争对手 ESPN 电视网类似的热门辩论节目，如《请原谅我的打断》（Pardon the Interruption）和《第一时间》（First Take）。然而，惠特洛克尤其倡导一种独特的黑人保守主义，他与进步活动家和其他黑人嘉宾的冲突代表了黑人体育媒体成员之间的种族内部矛盾。本文认为，《为自己代言》将 Newscorp 的保守信息带入了体育媒体这个名义上非政治化的领域。
