Drummond (2002a; 2005; 2010) has found that men will use sport and health-related sports acts to conceal these concerns from others. Accordingly, men’s body dissatisfactions are documented less frequently because the practices drawn upon to conceal them are perceived as routine forms of masculine behaviour. Rugby union is one of the most popular sports played by young men in England. Historically, the male rugby player is culturally perceived as strong, tough and unemotionally articulate. Existing research draws attention to health issues, such as performance stress and injury that arise through participation in this sport. Research also shows that rugby union players are likely to experience concerns about gaining weight, yet these are disguised within the requirements of training for the sport. Although, there are studies that examine the constitution of masculinities, the experience of pain and injury and career transitions among rugby union players there are no studies, as yet, that examine how rugby union men experience body concerns and manage these experiences through their sport.

Igor Lukšič Politična prepričanja med podporniki nogometnih klubov v Sloveniji in tujini Diplomsko delo Ljubljana, 2016 »Nekateri ljudje verjamejo, da gre pri nogometu za življenje in smrt. Zelo sem razočaran s takšnim odnosom. Lahko vam zagotovim, da je veliko, veliko pomembnejši od tega.« Bill Shankly Zahvaljujem se red. prof. dr. Igorju Lukšiču za mentorstvo pri nastajanju diplomskega dela, družini za vso podporo in zaupanje ter še posebej moji ženi Kseniji, brez katere tega diplomskega dela danes ne bi bilo. Politična prepričanja med podporniki nogometnih klubov v Sloveniji in tujini Navijači predstavljajo pomemben, če ne najpomembnejši del nogometa. So tisti, ki svoje klube delajo velike, saj si brez polnih stadionov, huronskega navijanja in vsega ostalega, kar sodi zraven, ne moremo predstavljati dobre nogometne predstave. Navijači dajejo kuliso nogometni tekmi, s svojo strastjo pomagajo klubu tudi, ko rezultatov ni, ter v blagajne večine nogometnih klubov prispevajo pomemben del prihodkov. V diplomskem delu se bomo posvetili raziskovanju političnega prepričanja med nogometnimi navijači v Sloveniji. Zanimalo nas je predvsem, ali so navijači, ki se opredeljujejo za bolj fanatične, tudi politično bolj skrajno usmerjeni. Poleg tega želimo preveriti, ali so navijači ene nogometne ekipe povezani tudi v politični usmeritvi ali pa jih druži le to, da podpirajo isto nogometno ekipo. V prvem delu bomo predstavili nogometne klube, ki so del tega dela, in raziskave, ki so jih opravili v drugih državah na temo političnega prepričanja nogometnih navijačev.
