INTRODUCTION By Diana Nyad For two decades, the GENDER IN TELEVISED SPORTS report has tracked the progress— as well as the lack of progress—in the coverage of women’s sports on television news and highlights shows. One of the positive outcomes derived from past editions of this valuable study has been a notable improvement in the often‐derogatory ways that sports commentators used to routinely speak of women athletes. The good news in this report is that there is far less insulting and overtly sexist treatment of women athletes than there was twenty or even ten years ago.

Paton © 2010 Jamie L. Paton Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts August 2010 ii The thesis of Jamie L. Paton was reviewed and approved* by the following: Colleen Connolly-Ahern Associate Professor of Communications Thesis Advisor Marie Hardin Associate Dean for Administration Jeanne Lynn Hall Associate Professor of Communications John S. Nichols Professor of Communications Associate Dean for Graduate Studies and Research *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT After softball was dropped from the 2012 Olympic program, the International Softball Federation formed an initiative to regain inclusion. The initiative was unsuccessful. The purpose of this thesis was to examine the International Softball Federation’s communicative efforts by comparing its website with current Olympic team sport federation websites. This study utilized a qualitative content analysis to observe any differences in representation of gender and nationalism. Findings demonstrated that the federation websites offered a Western perspective of international sports and perpetuated common frames regarding female athletes such as exclusion, reinforced femininity, and hyper-sexualization. This thesis offers a unique contribution to the field of sports communication research, as it is the first to study federation websites, which are created by the sports associations themselves, rather than news coverage or advertisements, over which athletes and sports organizations have less control. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF FIGURES ...........................................................................................................
