Intersectionality is increasingly used in sport studies and the sociology of sport to move beyond one-dimensional views of inequality and discrimination. The edited volume Not Playing Around: Intersectional Identities, Media Representation, and the Power of Sport by Andrew M. Colombo-Dougovito, Tracy Everbach & Karen Weiller-Abels (Lexington Books) aims to explicate the use of intersectionality in sport studies; however, according to our reviewer Greta Bladh, with very varying degrees of success. What all contributions manage to emphasize, though, and with excellence, is the power of sport.

JSM provides a broad-based exploration of the field and promotes a greater understanding of sports media in terms of their practices, value, and effect on the culture as a whole. The journal features scholarly articles, essays, book reviews, and reports on major conferences and seminars. Editor’s pick from the current issue: Hoping for a Hail Mary: A Critical Feminist Analysis of the NFL’s Post-Rice Tactics by Nicole Cox, Lauren DeCarvalho.
