  • ACADEMIA Letters the Shifting Media Discourse Surrounding Head Injuries in Association Football
    ACADEMIA Letters The shifting media discourse surrounding head injuries in association football Keith D. Parry Adam J. White Eric Anderson John Batten Until recently, there has been a lack of significance placed on concussion in association foot- ball, particularly in mainstream media coverage. Contemporary incidents and research show that traumatic brain injuries, which may result in neurodegenerative disease, are common in football, but remain poorly understood. However, following the deaths of several heroised FIFA World Cup winning footballers, as well as a serious head injury to two players in 2020, a noticeable shift in media attitudes towards concussion and head injuries in sport has been detected. Introduction In recent years, there has been increasing academic attention focussed on sporting injuries, particularly within the field of the sociology of sport. Much of this focus has beenonthe impact of concussion on the health and welfare of athletes, with this attention largely driven by cultural conversations inspired by high-profile films such as the Will Smith movie Concussion, or documentaries such as Killer Inside, about NFL player Aaron Hernandez (Parry et al., 2020). Initially, concussion was a term that was used loosely in mainstream media coverage, with its significance downplayed. However, there has since been a move to refer to concussion Academia Letters, April 2021 ©2021 by the authors — Open Access — Distributed under CC BY 4.0 Corresponding Author: Keith D.

    1 2 “El Mundial, señores, se hace en Chile, sí o sí” Jorge Alessandri Rodríguez, Presidente de Chile. (En respuesta a la FIFA después del terremoto de 1960, el más grande de la historia) “Porque no tenemos nada, queremos hacerlo todo” Carlos Dittborn Pinto, Delegado de Chile ante la FIFA. (En su discurso previo a la votación en el congreso de FIFA en Lisboa para elegir la sede del Mundial de 1962 y en la cual nuestro país obtuvo 32 votos, Argentina 10 y se abstuvieron 14 países) 3 4 EL MUNDIAL DE 1962 MARCÓ EN FORMA INDELEBLE A NUESTRO PAÍS Al cumplirse medio siglo de la celebración del Campeonato Mundial de Fútbol en Chile, CAP ha querido aportar a su conmemoración este documento que recopila los mejores momentos de ese gran evento de nuestra historia deportiva. Desde la perspectiva que da el tiempo, hoy podemos afirmar que el Mundial de 1962 constituyó un acontecimiento único, que marcó en forma indeleble a nuestro país, tanto por lo realizado en la cancha, como fuera de ella. Chile se sobrepuso a los efectos devastadores del gran terremoto de 1960, y pudo hacer realidad el compromiso que había asumido de organizar esta gran justa deportiva. Esta es la epopeya de una nación que ha vencido reiteradamente a la adversidad, sacando fuerzas de flaquezas, transformando el infortunio en una historia de logros y satisfacciones, donde el tercer puesto alcanzado en 1962 resulta una merecida recompensa al esfuerzo colectivo de toda esa generación. CAP —empresa chilena con 62 años de trayectoria— ha debido sobrellevar idénticas dificultades, producto de esta singular naturaleza que poseemos.

  • The Commemorative Activity at The
    The Commemorative Activity at the Grave of Munich Air Disaster Victim, Duncan Edwards: A Social and Cultural Analysis of the Commemorative Networks of a Local Sporting Hero by Gayle Rogers A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Central Lancashire July 2017 ABSTRACT The Commemorative Activity at the Grave of Munich Air Disaster Victim, Duncan Edwards: A Social and Cultural Analysis of the Commemorative Networks of a Local Sporting Hero The Munich Air Disaster claimed the lives of 23 people in a plane crash in Munich in 1958. It is a significant event within modern England’s cultural history as a number of Manchester United footballers, known as the Busby Babes were amongst the dead. The players who died have continued to be extensively commemorated, especially Duncan Edwards. This research considers the commemorative activity associated with Edwards since his death and was initiated when the researcher pondered the extensive commemorative activity by strangers that she encountered at the family grave of her cousin Edwards. The commemoration of the Disaster and of Edwards has been persistent and various with new acts of commemoration continuing conspicuously even after fifty years since the event. Such unique activity particularly demonstrated at Edwards’ grave was considered worthy of further investigation to ascertain why such activity was occurring at such a volume. Although general historical and biographical accounts of the Disaster and Edwards are apparent, specific research concerning the commemoration of the event was not evident. The researcher set out to identify who the commemorators were, why they were undertaking dedicatory acts and what those acts manifest as.
