“Our Wee Country”: National
https://t.co/ZvMUSLk8m1 “Our wee country”: National Identity, Golf and ‘Ireland’ Abstract The careers of professional golfers offer a unique opportunity to examine the ways in which national identity is imagined, constructed and experienced. This paper examines the nexus of national identity and golf in ‘Ireland’, and more particularly, Rory McIlroy’s public statements on the identity politics surrounding his country of choice for the 2016 Olympic Games. In so doing, it reveals aspects of McIlroy’s personal and sporting habitus, the value he associated with, being ‘Irish’, his legitimisation of Northern Ireland (NI), and the possible effect of this on others’ orientation towards his sporting identity on the island of Ireland. Given the current context of political instability in NI, it remains to be seen whether McIlroy’s talent as a golfer and his transnational social status will mean that he is a powerful cultural intermediary for sport in/and NI. Keywords: golf, habitus, McIlroy, national identity, Olympic Games Introduction Processes of globalisation and glocalisation have impacted on the ways people think about membership of a nation, defined in civic terms as attached to a state, or ethnically in terms of membership of a particular group with a shared cultural heritage. Today, more than ever before, people engage in multi-locationality, where they frequently traverse social, political, cultural and territorial boundaries around the world. In this way, membership of a nation or state is, for some, fluid: spaces and places are less central to national identity. At the same time, however, as a direct response to the homogenising trends of globalisation, the nation and/or state have become more relevant, with international sport being a critical expression of the ideological sentiments associated with nationalism and national identity.

Posted by lltroutman2002 Fri Aug 21 9:32am EDT I find this so shocking.... Not that She would run faster, or that she doesn't follow "traditional" ideas of femininity, or that the sports community chose to make this a public debate. What I find shocking is that this has become a race issue. I am American and I am so white, I almost glow in the dark. Does that mean I should trash on this poor child? Come on people, stop making assumtions. Yes, there are lots of jerks who will trash on someone just because they are different, but not all white people are against people of color (Maybe not the polically correct way to say it, but trying to encompass all ethnic backgrounds) and vice-versa. Personally, I think she is right. This skill is a gift from God and she is using it. She worked hard to develop this talent, and she made alot of sacrifices. She deserved to win. End of story. 5327.
