  • The Portrayal of Black Female Athletes in Children's Picturebooks
    Strides Toward Equality: The Portrayal of Black Female Athletes in Children’s Picturebooks Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Rebekah May Bruce, M.A. Graduate Program in Education: Teaching and Learning The Ohio State University 2018 Dissertation Committee: Michelle Ann Abate, Advisor Patricia Enciso Ruth Lowery Alia Dietsch Copyright by Rebekah May Bruce 2018 Abstract This dissertation examines nine narrative non-fiction picturebooks about Black American female athletes. Contextualized within the history of children’s literature and American sport as inequitable institutions, this project highlights texts that provide insights into the past and present dominant cultural perceptions of Black female athletes. I begin by discussing an eighteen-month ethnographic study conducted with racially minoritized middle school girls where participants analyzed picturebooks about Black female athletes. This chapter recognizes Black girls as readers and intellectuals, as well as highlights how this project serves as an example of a white scholar conducting crossover scholarship. Throughout the remaining chapters, I rely on cultural studies, critical race theory, visual theory, Black feminist theory, and Marxist theory to provide critical textual and visual analysis of the focal picturebooks. Applying these methodologies, I analyze the authors and illustrators’ representations of gender, race, and class. Chapter Two discusses the ways in which the portrayals of track star Wilma Rudolph in Wilma Unlimited and The Quickest Kid in Clarksville demonstrate shifting cultural understandings of Black female athletes. Chapter Three argues that Nothing but Trouble and Playing to Win draw on stereotypes of Black Americans as “deviant” in order to construe tennis player Althea Gibson as a “wild child.” Chapter Four discusses the role of family support in the representations of Alice Coachman in Queen of the Track and Touch the Sky.

    2012 News Page 1 of 18 The Website of Maria Bueno, Tennis Champion 2012 NEWS ROGER FEDERER VISITS SAO PAULO, 6-9 December 2012 The Gillette Federer Tour kicked off Roger’s first South American visit in Sao Paulo, Brazil, last week and he was keen to involve Maria in the proceedings. The two met at the Player Party, where Roger was joined by Maria Sharapova, Caroline Wozniacki, Victoria Azarenka, Serena Williams, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and the Bryan Brothers. Roger invited Maria to hit with him so he could see her legendary backhand for himself and arrangements were made for them to take to the court laid at the Ibirapuera indoor arena. Maria instructed him not to hit ‘anything spinny’, to which Roger replied that he would play her like he does with his parents and afterwards admitted she was way much better than them! Later he posted a picture of them on his Facebook page, saying: “About to play tennis Maria Esther Bueno… she has won 19 Grand Slam titles (7 singles, 11 doubles and 1 mixed)… she still plays amazing!” As for Maria, she was just astonished at how well he hit the ball. “He sliced one backhand that sped off the court like it had skidded off a line,” she said. “I said: Whoa! What was that? And he just laughed! “It was a fantastic experience and I think he enjoyed it too!” The two players swapped gifts – she gave him a framed photograph, which she signed ‘You are simply the best’ while he presented her with one of his rackets, personally signed on the handle.

    Serena Williams has earned the respect of a world that can't bear to give i... about:reader?url=https://www.salon.com/2018/09/10/serena-williams-ha... salon.com Serena Williams has earned the respect of a world that can't bear to give it to her 5-6 minutes Growing up as a young ball player in '90s, I was taught that combination of following the rules, understanding the basic fundamentals of basketball and hard work could conquer anything — anything, that is, except the Jordan Rule. The Jordan Rule, named after Michael Jordan, was basically an unspoken law that means referees have to give the best player (i.e. Jordan) special privileges, based on the notion that he was the best, and that fans pay to see superstars thrive, and when superstars win, the league as a whole wins. Back in the day, you’d hear “Jordan Rule,” referenced when a star took an extra step that could easily be called as a traveling violation, or cursed out a ref, or even assaulted another player. And the rule is still prevalent today — unless you are a woman. Over the weekend, 23-time Grand Slam champion Serena Williams, the greatest tennis player ever, and arguably the greatest athlete ever, became the focus of one of the most embarrassing moments in the history of professional sports. Some headlines would lead you to believe that the embarrassment was due to Serena's actions during and after her loss to 20-year- 1 of 4 10/9/2020, 2:39 PM Serena Williams has earned the respect of a world that can't bear to give i..

  • Roger Federer Tops List of World's Highest-Paid Athletes
    18 Established 1961 Sunday, May 31, 2020 Sports Photo of the day ‘Am I next?’ Tennis phenom Gauff upset by black man’s death LOS ANGELES: Rising US tennis star Coco Gauff has added her voice to those expressing outrage at the death of an unarmed black man in Minnesota who was in police hands. Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, who can be seen in video kneeling on the neck of a handcuffed George Floyd for at least five minutes, was charged with murder in Floyd’s death on Friday as violent protests continued around the country. Gauff, a 16-year-old African American, posted a TikTok video on her Twitter feed, juxtaposing an image of herself clad in a black hoodie with photos of Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, Trayvon Martin and others. Arbery, a 25-year-old black man, was killed on February 23 while running in a residential neighbor- hood in Brunswick, Georgia. Taylor an emergency medical technician who was black, was shot and killed by police who burst into her home in Kentucky in March. Martin was a high school student when he was shot in 2012 in a killing that helped spark the Black Lives Matter movement. “Am I next?” a caption asks, as Gauff slowly raises her face and hands to the camera. “This is why I am using my voice to fight against racism,” continues the caption, over a gallery of slain African Americans that also includes Breonna “I am using my voice,” the cap- tion concludes, “Will you use yours?” Gauff burst on the international tennis scene last year at Wimbledon where she came through qualifying and beat her idol Venus Williams in the first round before exiting in the round of 16.

Media images of elite female athletes were deconstructed in order to analyze how media images of female athletes mold and influence public opinion and discourse. The findings of this study discuss stereotypes of femininity, while deconstructing how the media influences the societal interpretation of femininity, and how this affects the advancement of women’s sport.

  • Women's Experience Seeking Justice
    Trapped within the Ideological Power of Law: Women’s Experience Seeking Justice Noryamin Aini1,a, Muhammad Helmy Hakim2,b, Khoiruddin Nasution3,c 1 Department of Legal Sciences, Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University, Indonesia 2 Faculty of Sharia, Antasari State Islamic University, Indonesia 3 Islmic Family Law, Sunan Kalijaga State Islamic University, Indonesia Keywords: Violance, objectivity, value-free, impartiality, feminists, justice Abstract: The legal positivism epistemologically argues that law is objectively constructed, non partisant, and impartially implemented. Even, it is widely claimed that everyone is equal befor the law. Hens Kelsen further obsessed theorizing the pure theory of law. The Kelsen’s Pure Theory of Law aims to describe law as a hierarchy of norms which are also binding norms while at the same time refusing, itself, to evaluate those norms. In this legal sense, legal sciences are to be separated from legal politics in order to keep laws independent, free from any kinds of intervention. The objectivity, impartiality, and the innocence of law have been epistemologically and practically challenged by legal feminist. This paper utilizing legal feminist perspectives illuminates empirically that law suffers a variety of gender bias. Firstly, the verbal construction of law is prevalently masculine reflecting male experience-awareness, and male standard-norms of social interpretation. Secondly, more importantly, at the practical domain, within legal profession, law has been mystified to surve the male interests. Finally, women’s struggles seeking justice in the formal legal path have been often trapped in a difficult situations, between hoping on the innocence of the law, or begging at the mercy of patriarchal reasoning of legal professionals.

  • Andy Murray Articles 2004-2006
    ANDY MURRAY ARTICLES 2004-2006 2004 Scots tennis 'courting disaster' Despite helping to produce world-class young players Scotland’s top tennis trainer has quit in disgust, writes Tom Lynch Published: 8 August 2004 There’s a wistful note to coach Murray’s voice when she recalls the moment. A hint of pride too. “I couldn’t believe that the kids I started off with when they were eight or nine were in the biggest tournament in the world.” Now, as a summer fog descends on her Dunblane home, Murray’s mood has changed. All the optimism has been replaced by frustration. Last week she resigned from her post at Tennis Scotland, disgusted at the lack of backing from the country’s sports administrators and its politicians and fearing that youngsters who have the talent to win top titles could be forced to leave the game. She is not alone in her thinking. According to Murray, three of the four tennis development staff in Scotland have quit this year, allegedly fed up with their puny resources. Next to go, Murray fears, will be the country’s outstanding crop of young players, forced out of the game because there is simply not the money to help them break through into the big time, to compete alongside the Tim Henmans and Greg Rusedskis for the top honours. The tragic thing is, she says, is that she and her colleagues have produced tremendous talents “against all the odds”. For, while the Scottish executive plans to spend £30m on football to make it competitive again on the world stage, funding for tennis has been slashed by 60%.

  • Procedural Fairness in the International Tennis Federation's
    Livings, B and Wlodarczak, K. 2020. Procedural Fairness in the International Tennis Federation’s Disciplinary Regime. Entertainment and Sports Law Journal, 18: 1, pp. 1–12. DOI: https://doi.org/10.16997/eslj.242 ARTICLE Procedural Fairness in the International Tennis Federation’s Disciplinary Regime Ben Livings1 and Karolina Wlodarczak2 1 University of South Australia, AU 2 Professional Tennis Player/Judge’s Associate, AU Corresponding author: Ben Livings ([email protected]) This article examines the International Tennis Federation’s disciplinary regime as it applies to on- and off-court indiscipline, in order to assess the extent to which it complies with well-accepted requirements of procedural fairness. In so doing, it draws on two recent appellate decisions of the ITF-appointed Inde- pendent Tribunal in the cases of Ilie Năstase and Marcelo Rios, both former elite professional players who were at the time of their respective transgressions appointed to positions within the Romanian Fed Cup and Chilean Davis Cup teams, respectively. Keywords: tennis; discipline; procedural fairness; transparency; code of conduct Introduction Examples of on- and off-court indiscipline are not difficult to find in professional tennis, with recent high-profile instances including verbal abuse of the umpire (Mitchell 2017), unauthorised on-court coaching (Smale 2018), inap- propriate racial and sexual remarks (Năstase v ITF Appeal, Independent Tribunal SR, Andrew de Lotbinière McDougall, Susan Ahern and Despina Mavromati, Case No 913 of 2017, 6 February 2018) and verbal abuse of members of the media (Federación de Tenis de Chile & Rios v ITF Appeal, Independent Tribunal SR, David Casement QC, Case No 48 of 2018, 28 March 2018).

  • BORIS BECKER Published on 27.8.2018 Rafa the Man to Beat
    BORIS BECKER Published on 27.8.2018 Rafa the man to beat, with Novak close on his heels A searingly warm New York is ready for the final Grand Slam of the year. The first two days are supposed to be even warmer, and this will test the players when they start out. Looking at the preparations for the US Open I will stick my neck out and say that Rafael Nadal is the man to beat. He has looked unbelievably good over the last six months, with the French Open win and a semi-final loss at Wimbledon. He has done well in the Masters circuit and is looking as good as he ever has on the hard courts. Close on his heels would be Novak Djokovic who has also had a great preparation and build-up to the tournament. The win at Wimbledon would have done him a world of good and the return to his old set-up seems to have made the difference for him. The other men who have won this tournament before are Roger Federer, Andy Murray and Juan Martin Del Potro. Federer has not played too many tournaments since Wimbledon and might just be a little short on hard court match-play as he prepares for the tournament. He has won here several times and is a big crowd favourite, and can never be written off on hard courts. Delpo on the other hand has been a little off-colour in the last few touraments. The good news is that he normally keeps his best for big tournaments and more importantly, he has been injury-free for quite some time now.
