The study additionally measured differences in these evaluations when the article is a game/match report versus an analytical commentary. Participants ( N = 430) recruited from Prolific Academic were randomly assigned to one of four experimental conditions and exposed to four articles that were also randomized by order. The articles equally covered women and men’s football (soccer) and basketball in the UEFA and W/NBA leagues. The study found human-authored articles to be rated more credible than AI-authored ones, but no significant differences appeared in evaluations of comprehensibility between AI and human authors and between news reports and commentaries. Testing the moderating effects of sports fanship and attitudes towards AI on perceptions of credibility and comprehensibility did not produce any significance. This study makes an important contribution to credibility theory, showing that in today’s AI age, human expertise still matters.","PeriodicalId":46882,"journal":{"name":"Communication & Sport","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148809986","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a mixed-methods design, this study combined a large-scale social media content analysis ( n = 38,925 posts from X) with semi-structured interviews ( n = 17) with current National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) athletes. Findings indicated that betting-related content is highly concentrated among a small group of high-volume accounts and is frequently framed around opportunity, strategy, and entertainment, with comparatively little emphasis on gambling-related risk. Interview data revealed that college athletes experience pervasive, often unavoidable exposure to sports-betting content that contributes to perceptions of betting as a normalized component of sports culture despite institutional prohibitions. Integrating framing theory with normalization scholarship, the study proposes a feedback loop in which content production, engagement, algorithmic amplification, and repeated exposure reinforce the visibility and cultural legitimacy of sports betting. The findings have implications for college athletes’ well-being, media literacy, and responsible communication practices among media companies and sportsbook operators.","PeriodicalId":46882,"journal":{"name":"Communication & Sport","volume":"462 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148728706","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on a mixed-methods framework, including quantitative analysis of over 3,900 Hebrew-language tweets, semantic network mapping, and qualitative thematic interpretation, the study analyzes discourse within Israel’s dominant linguistic majority. Focusing on Hebrew speakers provides a conservative test: if fragmentation occurs even within Israel’s culturally dominant linguistic ingroup, this suggests that digital platforms can unsettle the integrative logic of media events even within a relatively shared national public. The analysis reveals that these achievements provoked competing narratives along political, religious, ethnic, and class lines. Ashram’s win sparked debates over Shabbat observance, political legitimacy, and inequality; Dolgopyat’s victory exposed tensions regarding immigrant identity and the Rabbinate’s marriage monopoly. Notably, gendered discourse was overshadowed by Israeli-specific intersecting conflicts. Network analysis revealed high modularity and distinct thematic clusters, underscoring a fragmented public conversation. These findings challenge classical media event theory, suggesting digital mega-events increasingly surface rather than bridge societal divisions, transforming sporting achievements into terrain where competing identities are publicly negotiated.","PeriodicalId":46882,"journal":{"name":"Communication & Sport","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148709579","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Whether this practice delivers meaningful value, however, remains largely unexamined, and the audiences it reaches are themselves poorly understood. This study explores the audience composition and broadcast perceptions associated with livestreamed non-mainstream sport through a case study of the Australian Water Polo League. Survey data from verified viewers ( n = 77) reveal a structurally bounded audience constituted by sport-embedded insiders whose engagement is relationally driven and best understood through social identity rather than media preference. The broadcast was perceived positively within its own contextual frame of reference and functioned as an effective signal of organisational legitimacy. The findings nonetheless offer disconfirming evidence against assumptions underpinning the case for streaming in non-mainstream sport: that streaming provision itself generates new viewership beyond the participant base, and that incremental production sophistication yields proportionate perceptual returns. While the study’s small sample constrains inferential generalisability, the findings provide an exploratory basis for audience-centred research on non-mainstream sport streaming.","PeriodicalId":46882,"journal":{"name":"Communication & Sport","volume":"54 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148612503","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While existing research has largely focused on U.S. media contexts, less is known about how neutrality operates as a framing logic in other media systems. Drawing on qualitative frame analysis of 43 articles from eight high-reach German media outlets (2020–2024), the study identifies six dominant frames that construct athlete activism through competing interpretations of neutrality. The findings show that neutrality functions not as a fixed norm but as a flexible framing logic through which the legitimacy of athlete expression in sport is negotiated. Media discourse variously legitimises exclusion, enables conditional acceptance, dissolves conflict through reclassification, exposes disciplinary power, prioritises moral claims, and reflects ongoing renegotiation. These patterns are conceptualised as a Neutrality Spectrum , capturing shifts from the defence to the contestation of neutrality. By foregrounding institutional boundary-setting rather than individual athletes, the German case highlights how legitimacy struggles are articulated through questions of governance, regulation, and interpretive authority. The study contributes to scholarship on athlete activism and media framing by reconceptualising neutrality as a discursive mechanism through which politicisation is managed rather than avoided.","PeriodicalId":46882,"journal":{"name":"Communication & Sport","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148595535","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We use quantitative and qualitative responses from a national survey of U.S. adults over two waves in December 2025 and February 2026 (N = 1,912) to examine sociodemographic factors, sports following, and exposure to online harassment as predictors of opinion and to explore how respondents explain their opinions. Over 40% reported that levels of online harassment of women are higher in sport than outside of it and that levels of online harassment of women in sport have increased over the past 3-5 years. Exposure to online harassment, age, sexuality, and race/ethnicity predict opinion. Qualitative comments illustrate divergent perceptions of online harassment as variously gendered, motivated by sexism, experienced disproportionately by women, and commonly emerging as body shaming, or as gender-neutral, a phenomenon experienced by men and women equally and facilitated by the anonymity, availability, and deregulation of social media and online spaces. Our focus on public opinion contributes to the small but growing area of online hate speech in sport and has potential to inform policies to prevent and manage online harassment.","PeriodicalId":46882,"journal":{"name":"Communication & Sport","volume":"31 1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148587190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
