“Rising from irrelevance: the media framing of Brock Purdy’s rookie season in the NFL” 🏈📄

The article examines how Brock Purdy’s rookie season was framed through underdog narratives that aligned sporting success with broader societal values. It speaks to how media storytelling shapes public engagement with athletes.

If you’re over on Bluesky, come say hi and help me find my feet! I’ve decided to start engaging more over there and would love to connect with familiar faces (and new ones too).

04:52 - @Lionesses won #EURO2025 despite leading for just four minutes and 52 seconds in the entire knockout stages of the tournament (including stoppage time). Battlers.
Two really enjoyable presentations this afternoon at @IACSacademic. First up, @AaronGallagher8 looking at the relationship between the IOC and the media. Followed by @dan_kilvington discussing online harm and sports journalists. #IACS25
A pleasure and honour to chair this afternoon's panel on 'Perception & Representation', with fantastic presentations from Cory Barker, Kenny Smith, Thomas Horky, and Nicolas Voisin. #IACS25
What an awesome city Chicago is. Wasn't too sure what to expect before I came, but it might be up there in my top 3 US locations! #IACS25
Loved this presentation from Lauren Smith on the analysis of NBCs' broadcasts of the Paris Games. An insightful gendered focus. #IACS25
Ironically, I'm at my most productive when procrastinating. My desktop and inbox are spotless - because nothing says 'avoiding a specific task' like aggressively organising your digital life 🙃
Nice to get this official confirmation this morning. See you in Chicago, @IACSacademic!
