Researchers in sport explore both the words that are embedded in incidents of violence in sports, and the rhetoric used to report or depict such violence. Among their topics are how parents support violence in minor hockey, gender roles in stock car racing, the marginalization of women athletes in alternative sport, a feminist perspective on foul language in American football film rhetoric, and the rhetoric surrounding female professional boxers.
