Too bad more Black tumblr bloggers don’t care about sports (or at least not the ones I follow). The intersection of race, class, gender & sexual orientation in sports is woefully understudied & underreported, but definitely problematic in terms of representation, sponsorship and reporting. I’d love to do more with this….but I don’t have the time/effort.
YES I agree. A lot of the people I follow are the same, but I agree
It depends on which sport. I know a few of the folks I follow have spoken about pro wrestling and the implications of race, gender and sexual orientation within it….
Others I’m not too familiar with…
Yeah, I don’t follow pro wrestling, but I was thinking more along the lines of mainstream sports: football, baseball/softball, soccer, tennis, golf, basketball, etc.
