SNHU How Racial Bias in Sports Broadcasting Hurts Everyone Discussion

 

First, read Chapter 12 in Sports in Society: Issues and Controversies along with the two articles Globalization of Sport: An Inconvenient Truth and Televising International Sport: Race, Ethnicity, and Nationalistic Bias. Next, in your initial post to the discussion, address the following:

  • What are the implications of media bias in sport? Consider what types of topics you believe to be appropriate to report on versus what you believe should be off limits.
  • Do you believe it is fair for media commentators to speak about athletes in regard to their race, ethnicity, or national identity, rather than by how they are competing during international competition? How do you address this?
  • What type of information should (and should not) be reported in the media? For example, should the off-the-field (or out-of-the-arena) behavior of an athlete be detailed in the media?

Take a look at the attached article regarding the effects of racial bias in sports broadcasting. Anything thoughts regarding this particular piece?
