This Research Topic aims to scrutinize the multifaceted intersections of sports management, marketing, and economic implications, enhancing our understanding of the various challenges and opportunities that lie within. By analyzing emerging trends, theoretical advances, and the strategic maneuvering in sports industries, the objective is to foster a deeper understanding of sports economics and its synergy with management and marketing principles.

This Research Topic offers an opportunity to publish research centered around the lived experiences of transgender and non-binary athletes. We are particularly interested in work that has an intersectional lens and draws on examples from the Global South, Inter-Asian communities and/or Pacifica, or that focus on the experiences of Indigenous athletes globally. We seek work that reflects how policy development and decision-making across elite, recreational, and community settings influence the experiences of transgender and non-binary athletes.

We argue it is time for sport organizational behavior scholars to revisit and expand the field's boundaries by exploring diverse perspectives, new theories, conceptual frameworks, and innovative practical strategies, consistent with the mission of Journal of Sport Management. The goal of this special issue is to foster scholarship that explores strategies for empowering next-generation sport employees to thrive, enhance performance in VUCA environments, and achieve personal fulfillment through their careers in the sport industry.

This special issue explores how changes in sports marketing are influencing the social, technological, economic, and consumer engagement structures in the region. The importance of this special issue lies in its ability to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date view of a rapidly expanding market, with key opportunities for brands and sponsors seeking to capitalize on the continued growth of sports in Latin America.

This special issue seeks to explore the multifaceted ways in which political systems in Global South nations leverage sports beyond their recreational purpose. The focus is on how sports are utilized as strategic tools to achieve national and international policy objectives. By examining the intersection of sports, politics, and society, this issue aims to shed light on the broader implications of this relationship for governance, diplomacy, and social development. 

By addressing what leisure domains say and do, do and make throughout the borders, borderlands and crossings that traverse unequal global geographies of power, this special issue aims to connect/bring together issues that tend to be addressed as separated in and beyond interdisciplinary leisure studies (leisure and forced migration, Indigenous knowledges and sovereignties, disability, intersecting urban exclusions, settler colonialism, climate change).

The objective of this Special Issue is to stimulate and promote more research investigations in an effort to advance the understanding about the Winter Olympic Games’ bidding, staging, operating, and marketing practices. We encourage the use of diverse theories and methodologies in empirical investigations. Additionally, in an effort to better understand the unique perspectives of the Winter Olympic Games, this Special Issue particularly welcomes studies that reveal differences between the Winter and Summer Olympic Games.

In the contemporary sports industry and context, social issues, CSR and philanthropy have become integral parts of the sports landscape. The goal is to bring together multiple stakeholders, such as sports organizations, athletes, community sports nonprofits, sports business professionals, and the business community, and drive positive change towards shared visions. This Special Issue elucidates the multifaceted ways in which sports organizations, events, athletes and stakeholders, can embrace their role as catalysts for positive social change.

What is the point of sport studies? Does sport matter? And how and why do sport scholars teach in these ‘revolting times’? The world is more connected than ever before in its history. Our cultural, economic, political, ecological, and social experiences, in a variety of domains, are intertwined more than ever. Shifts, both positive, negative, and unqualifiable are reverberating widely, making the local global and the global local. This is a call to reflect upon why sport matters amid local, regional, and global movements, crises, and developments.
