  • The Gendered Language of Sports Teams Names and Logos
    The Gendered Language of Sports Teams Names and Logos Amirah Heath, McNair Scholar The Pennsylvania State University McNair Faculty Research Advisor: Stephanie Danette Preston, PhD Postdoctoral Scholar Department of Curriculum and Instruction College of Education The Pennsylvania State University Abstract For professional sports organizations, team names and logos represent a group’s central identity, reflecting geographic location and important attributes pertaining to strength and skill. For minority groups and women, however, team names and logos have also served as a site of oppression in the sports domain. This study examines this problem as it is apparent in team names and logos chosen to represent each of the 44 teams belonging to the National Football League and Lingerie Football League. Drawing on previous research on the topic of team names, logos, and sports team identity, the study provides argues that despite gender-exclusive nature of the leagues, gendered-language is still used to define, demean, and derogate women’s teams. Introduction As a cultural institution, it can be argued that Sport represents a microcosm of American society at large. The evident social organization around the identity and esteem needs of men and its preservation as a male-dominant environment reflects the value placed on patriarchal ideology and an inherent motivation to preserve social, cultural, ideological, and economic power among men. Bryson (1987) argues that this system is maintained through an exclusion of women through direct control, ignoring, definition, and trivialization. Daddario (1998) further suggests that these practices are legitimated through representational bias in sports and by sports media, an emphasis on the physiological difference between men and women, questions of sex and sexuality, and a primary focus on male spectatorship.

Abstract This paper explores the representation of female athletes within the Legends Football League (LFL; formerly ‘Lingerie Football League’) in 2013. Specifically, the study seeks to understand the vision of women’s sport, and female athletes, which the LFL propagates. Drawing on a combined content and semiotic analysis of the commentary and visuals featured in 26 LFL matches broadcast online in 2013, our data suggests that the LFL presents apparently conflicting images of sexualised, but ‘powerful’ female athletes. We discuss these data relative to competing interpretive approaches to female sexuality in sports media, and join other sports media scholars in advocating audience reception research as a necessary next step to grasping this emergent sport’s significance.
