摘要

足球是正统男子气概（通常与性别歧视和恐同症有关）达到顶峰的众多领域之一。研究表明，这种行为会对不符合非规范标准的运动员和封闭的同性恋运动员产生负面影响，因为他们害怕在恐吓和有毒的环境中出柜。球迷一直是一些调查足球中恐同症的实证研究的核心；然而，迄今为止，大多数研究都集中在西方国家。通过批判性话语分析的视角，本文考察了巴西足球迷如何看待男队中公开同性恋球员的存在。150条评论来自13个在线足球论坛。研究结果表明，与西方研究相比，巴西球迷的反应相似。尽管球迷们对公开的同性恋球员的存在表达了积极的看法，但在这种环境下也发现了恐同的观点。一些粉丝也表示不反对使用恐同语言。本研究与现有文献相关，因为它有助于澄清以前巴西足球中恐同的概念。与此同时，它解决了问题，并正式将巴西列入该主题的研究地图。

Homophobia in Brazilian football: A critical discourse analysis of fans’ comments in online football forums

Football is one of the many fields where the display of orthodox masculinity, often related to sexism and homophobia, reaches its peak. Studies indicate that such behaviors negatively affect athletes who do not fit heteronormative standards and closeted gay players, who fear coming out due to an intimidating and toxic environment. Fans have been central to some empirical studies investigating homophobia in football; however, most research to date focuses on western countries. Through the lens of Critical Discourse Analysis, this paper examines how Brazilian football fans see the presence of openly gay players on a men's team. One hundred and fifty comments were collected from thirteen online football forums. The results indicate similarities in the responses provided by Brazilian fans compared to western studies. Although fans’ positive views towards the presence of openly gay players were expressed, homophobic opinions were also identified in this environment. Several fans also demonstrated no objection to the use of homophobic language. The present study is relevant to the existing literature as it aids in clarifying previous notions of homophobia in Brazilian football. At the same time, it problematizes and officially places Brazil on the map of studies on the topic.
