As a consequence of these debates, some states in the US have introduced legislation ...

They first identified every equity-related statement ...

Their study found that the quantity of coverage of women’s sports on TV news and highlights shows has continued to be dismally low. In a similar manner, Taylor, Linden, and Antunovic’s (2021) investigation of print media ...

Notwithstanding, discussion and research on discrimination in sport are hardly limited to economic analysis. In fact, several 2022 JSM articles have addressed gender and race-based discrimination in sport management institutions from non-economic perspectives (e.g., Singer, et al. 2022 and Sveinson, et al. 2022).

As figure 8 reveals, the words ‘social media’ are closely connected to ‘women’, ‘public relations’ and ‘nationalism’, and help build a picture of the role of social media ...
