Attendees this year included Microsoft founder Bill Gates, JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, Chinese President Xi Jinping and many others. Kuwait is well represented at this event through ministers, busi- nessmen, and of course, the Kuwait Investment Authority. We participate in open and closed door discussions on topics ranging from the ‘Youth Imperative’ (ie addressing the 13 percent of the world’s youth that is unemployed - 30 percent in our region) to ‘Smart Cities as Innovation Hubs’; from ‘Climate Change’ to the ‘Future of the Digital Economy’. As business leaders of our organizations, we’ve had the privilege of attending and participating in the WEF annual meeting, as well as the regional meeting for many years. It’s safe to say - this year was unlike any other. The overar- ching theme of populism and radical nationalism loomed over every discussion.

Let me start by saying that reporting in Kuwait isn’t easy for anyone, especially for an expatriate like me. There are many chal- lenges including a lack of official communi- cation, lack of organized information or gov- ernment statistics, language barriers and for expats especially, the nascent fear of being caught by the police while out investigating a story. One of my worst fears was realized this week when I was detained by the police for taking photos with my mobile while the police were arresting an alleged thief. What happened was this: I was in Farwaniya in a small shopping complex when I saw a group of people gathered around a small white sedan. I moved closer to the crowd to find out what was going on and asked several bystanders for details. Shopkeepers had detained someone they suspected of using stolen civil IDs to obtain smartphones. They had called the police and were holding the suspect until the authori- ties arrived. Since I was without a camera, I took a few photos with my mobile of the scene and the suspect.

In our findings we discuss the four 14 dominant themes.

We demonstrate that these frames are shaped by, as well as reinforce, 17 existing power relations, and influence how bullying and racial harassment are represented in 18 media accounts. We argue this type of analysis has implications for our understanding of how 19 narratives bullying and harassment in sport can be re-framed along dominant power lines that 20 question the legitimacy of athlete’s accounts and experiences. 21 22 23 24 25 26 2 3 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 Key words 14 Media Representation, Gender, Bullying, Racism, Football 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 th 25 On the 7 August 2017, various media outlets in the United Kingdom (UK) reported that Eniola 3 4 1 Aluko, an England female football player, had received an £80,000 settlement from the 2 Football Association.
