The Globalization of Sports Events
During the 19th century, the sports desks of newspapers were staffed with specialized journalists, who reported on sporting events. This was a form of sports writing that tended to focus on postmortem analysis of major sporting events. In recent years, however, sports writing has become more diverse, with reports on soft news, celebrity sports gossip, and postmortem analysis of scandals. These developments have contributed to the prominence of sports in contemporary society.
Sports entrepreneurs began to see the mass media as important for generating interest in sports events. This has resulted in a dramatic shift in the way sports are reported in the media. The pace of change has accelerated as sports competition has intensified. These developments are part of larger globalization processes. The globalization of sports, however, is a complex process that involves both interwoven patterns of globalization and the development of a worldwide network of interdependencies. In some ways, this development may be challenging the masculine notions of sports as hegemonic.
In the 20th century, sports became a source of distinction and prestige, marketed as signs of power and pleasure. In addition, sports fans have become enlightened about the off-field violence and performance-enhancing drugs that are used in modern sports. This is also reflected in the increasing body of academic literature about sports. This includes autobiographies of prominent athletes, various coaching manuals, and fictions about sports fandom.
