we uphold racial stratification in a society found upon racist ideologies, requires a perspective shift to perceive being not racist as a low barometer that does little to address structural racial marginalization.

Sport management scholars must begin to recognize the significance of race and ethnicity as viable epistemological considerations in research inquiry. This article discusses the concept of “epistemological racism” (Scheurich & Young, 1997) and argues that critical race theory (CRT) is a legitimate epistemological and theoretical alternative to research approaches that have typically been based on the dominant worldview (i.e., Eurocentrism), and that it is an appropriate framework for conducting race-based emancipatory research in sport management. In particular, because CRT focuses on issues of justice, liberation, and the empowerment of people of color in a society based on White supremacy (i.e., Eurocentrism), the primary purpose of this article is to provide sport management scholars and students with insight into how CRT’s epistemological and methodological bases could be applied to critical areas of research in our field. The article concludes with some practical suggestions for how we can address epistemological racism in our sport management research and education.

Similarly, Jamie Kagan, the lawyer representing

Sexism and racism have long been studied in relation to mediated sports. Sports are used to uphold sexist institutions (see Angelini, 2008 ; Angelini, MacArthur, & Billings, 2012 ; Dworkin & Messner, 2002 ; Greendorfer, 1994 ; Lavelle, 2015 ), and Black athletes are subjected to questions

This article provides a sociorhetorical analysis of the April 25, 1989, NBC telecast of “Black Athletes—Fact and Fiction.” It applies Toulmin’s (1958) model of the structure of argumentation to identify the major claims, data, and warrants Tom Brokaw used to construct the program and argues that a racist rhetorical structure resulted. We posit that the racism lay in the claims Brokaw made, the data he utilized, the inferences he drew from selected sources, and the absence of alternative explanations. The sociological implications of such a racist rhetorical structure are explored.

Success: The English Way When we started our research, we expected a discourse of righteous indignation in English media. Surprisingly, the English narrative on the Podgorica event is founded more or less explicitly on the experiences of colonialism and its own history of racism. Here, England presents
