Exploring the intersection of gender norms and sports media, the book examines how masculinity and femininity shape portrayals of footballers and related issues like team dynamics, sexuality, and alcohol. Waterhouse-Watson analyzes the narratives and discourses that normalize certain portrayals while intertwining them with broader football reporting. Despite the common discrediting of victims, the author highlights efforts to challenge prevalent rape myths, discussing both effective strategies and the inherent limitations of journalistic practices and language.
