The results of the analysis of China’s traditional newspaper and social media coverage revealed that news writers/social media users highlighted specific disadvantages, advantages and paradoxes of foreignness surrounding the NBA’s arena development practices through the development of frames of cultural difference (positive and negative frames), building relationships (negative frame), firm strategies and resources (positive frame) and untapped Chinese sport market (negative frame). In particular, the social media showed a different framing process from the traditional newspapers in which the positive frames of cultural difference and firm strategies and resources were more prevalent. The different framing process and frame content showed the complexities of China’s media coverage, ranging from an American consuming culture to traditional Chinese political cultural ideology represented in sport and from articulating state ideology and control to developing a rhetoric of market forces related to the issue of foreignness.","PeriodicalId":320773,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Sport and Social Science","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130877877","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consistent with the principles of interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA), this study acted as a medium for five current and five former national athletes to provide their personal accounts of elite sport in Singapore based on their lived experiences. Semi-structured interviews were conducted and analysed according to the procedures of IPA to provide an in-depth account of participants’ experiential concerns. Five super-ordinate themes emerged from the data: attraction to sport, support environment, personal sacrifices, organizational obstacles and recommendations for better well-being. These themes provide a subjective account of how participants were involved in sport for their personal satisfaction and, with a strong support environment, were willing to make sacrifices for sport but were impeded by the very organizations in place to support them. For athletes to progress in elite sport, it is recommended that organizations shift their focus on outcomes to the process and development of athletes.","PeriodicalId":320773,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Sport and Social Science","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125088010","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper investigates the prevailing attitudes of Singaporeans towards disability today and ascertains how Singaporean wheelchair basketball has so far impacted this. Two key personnel in the WBAS organization were interviewed to provide an informed perspective on the general opinions of both the government and the Singaporean public with regard to people with disabilities (PWDs). A semi-structured interview format was utilized with a grounded theory approach used to analyse the data. In addition, one of the authors became a person without disability player in the WBAS so that insider interviews and focus groups with athletes with disabilities could be conducted. Results demonstrate that efforts to outreach and educate Singaporeans, particularly its youth, about disability are present. However, there is a great deal of work to do. The authors recommend that more action research involving government, institutional and community levels be coordinated to construct policies to further work towards promoting societal awareness of disability and encouraging interaction with people with disabilities.","PeriodicalId":320773,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Sport and Social Science","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126077164","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The product of such moves are Third Culture Kids (TCKs), whom Pollock and Van Reken (1999. The third culture kid experience: Growing up among worlds. Yarmouth, ME: Intercultural Press) describe as individuals who have spent their developmental years in a culture outside their own. Literature suggests that these individuals are often faced with an identity crisis from not being able to fully integrate in both their ‘home’ and their adopted countries. This article explores the extent to which sport influences TCKs in forming a national identity. The researcher interviewed TCKs who have spent a period of their lives in Japan and investigated their views on national identity, with specific reference to sport. The interviews revealed that, in order to create a sense of belonging to a specific country, TCKs use cultural identifiers such as participation in sport and spectatorship of national sport teams. The study confirmed that sport consumption can reinforce community belonging, but this can act in both positive and negative ways. In addition, the study found that TCKs often utilize sport in order to assimilate with adopted countries or to keep ties with their ‘home’ nation and this helps begin a conversation about sport influencing national belonging for TCKs. The findings show that both participation in and watching sport are seen to play an important role in community integration, and allow TCKs to create identities with different nations.","PeriodicalId":320773,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Sport and Social Science","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117027337","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
