Analysis of Media Representations

Sports have been represented in many ways throughout history.
Yet, one thing has reained constant.
Sports is for men.
And even then, white men and black men are portrayed differently was well.
Some sports are related to black men, some are related to white.
I see race discoursse as well as gender discourse here.
Look atthe pictures under Sports in my Flickr.

If you notice carefully, the pictures portraying women are barely sports pictures.
Women are portrayed as passive, calm, healthy beings and that's what they apporach sports for.
Or, women are only interested in the handsome players,not the sports. as we see in the "Calcio" calendar.
We see no sweat in the pictures of the women basketball players. That pictures represents them in a passive pose, unlike nasketball pictures of en where we see then in full action, all sweaty and enjoying the game.

The female volleyball team, might as well be posing for a magazine and they could be models and not players for all the picture suggests.
The water advertisement from Asia, I mean, look at how she's dressed and how calm she is. Sports are not represented as activiies full of action for women.
Or maybe some sort of other actin, if you know what I mean, as suggested in the Italian calendar.

Men on the otehr hand are represented as victorious, sweaty, full of emotion and enjoying either their game or theri victory as seem in the pictures of the racecar driver, basketball, hockey etc.

Now, white men and black men are portrayed differently as well.
The white man is portrayed as victorious, enjoying, and for certain sports only.
just look at Hewey Lewis' album titled sports. Pool tables and darts.
Are those sports? Well yes they are, but they are not our typical sports.
At least not the Black man's sports.

The black man is represented I dare say as a sports beast.
Look at the Football player's picture, There he is, huge among the reporters, he';s an 'animal' a great player.
We have the boxing pictures of black men.
Boxing is a fighting game. I personally believe it' sdemeaning, therefore we have the black boxers. get my grift?
Anyway, Where's the black hockey player? or the black racecar driver?
You get what I mean.
These are all ideas gotten from the images I found under sports in google images.
I'm sure there are a lot ore images to support my ideas and vision.
