  • Discussing Homosexuality on Association Football
    IRS0010.1177/1012690213475437International Review for the Sociology of SportCleland 4754372013 Article International Review for the Sociology of Sport Discussing homosexuality 2015, Vol. 50(2) 125 –140 © The Author(s) 2013 on association football fan Reprints and permissions: sagepub.co.uk/journalsPermissions.nav message boards: A changing DOI: 10.1177/1012690213475437 irs.sagepub.com cultural context Jamie Cleland Loughborough University, UK Abstract This article presents the findings of a discourse analysis carried out on 48 association football (soccer) message boards from across the United Kingdom concerning fans’ views towards the presence of gay footballers. It draws on over 3000 anonymous posts to examine whether hegemonic or more inclusive forms of masculinity existed. The overall findings are that, despite evidence of heteronormativity and some orthodox views towards homosexuality, a majority of supporters demonstrate more inclusivity through the rejection of posts that they feel have pernicious homophobic intent. Rather than avoiding any contestation of these orthodox posts, fans frequently challenge them and suggest that on-the-field performance is what is valued the most. Keywords fans, football, homophobia, Internet, masculinity, message boards, sexuality Introduction Although organized sport has various meanings for men, one constant feature throughout its contemporary history has been the demonstration of socially acceptable forms of heteromasculinity (Plummer, 1999; Wellard, 2009). This is often recognized in the male- dominated, popular contact team sport of British football (or soccer), where heteromas- culine expression and embodiment have been historically engrained in boys and men (Dunning, 1999). During the 1980s and 1990s, increasing academic attention was given to sexuality and sport, most of which suggested that the environment for a gay athlete was intimidating and homophobic (Messner and Sabo, 1990; Pronger, 1990).
