Relaciones de género en el campo del periodismo deportivo y en sus discursos mediáticos

Abstract

The discourse of sports journalism in Colombia captures and reflects the cultural patterns of society widely regarded as those of human groups dedicated to the practice of sport, such as football. Specifically, gender relations—understood as the ways in which it is socially acceptable for men and women to interact, in this case in a sporting space—are due to cultural, social and economic factors from which football does not escape, factors both fostered and reflected by the language of sports journalism, which is discriminatory in referring to gender relations.

It is not the media or sports journalism, however, the only cultural agents producing, bearing and breeding of this type of gender relations: the relationship with sport is built from the families themselves, from the schools; a taste for physical activity instilled in classrooms, among other primary socialization scenarios.
