Representing Reality: Discourse, Rhetoric and Social Construction

Garfinkel and Ethnomethodology

Affirmative action is a problematic, but common, organizational approach to redressing gender discrimination as it fails to address discourses underlying organizational definitions and practices in highly masculinized sites like English football. Unstructured interviews with 27 key personnel and participants in coach education in the north of England within a regional “division” of the organization regulating English football (“The FA”) were conducted to explore the gendered construction and enactment of football and coaching, and the framing of women-only (separatist) coaching courses. Critical discourse analysis identified the deployment of discourses concerning the undermining of standards and the privileging of women as strategies used to neutralize the significance of gender and previous gender discrimination, while re/producing the centrality of masculinity for key definitions and identities.

Standards and Separatism : The Discursive Construction of Gender in English Soccer Coach Education

Whilst women's participation in sport continues to increase, their presence remains ideologically challenging given the significance of sport for the construction of gendered identities. As a hegmonically masculine institution, leadership roles across sport remain male‐dominated and the entry of women into positions of authority (such as coaching) routinely contested. But in powerful male‐typed sports, like football, women's participation remains particularly challenging. Consequently, constructions of gender inequity in coaching were explored at a regional division of the English Football Association through unstructured interviews and coaching course observation. Using critical discourse analysis we identified the consistent re/production of women as unconfident in their own skills and abilities, and the framing of women themselves as responsible for the gendered inequities in football coaching. Women were thereby strategically positioned as deservedly on the periphery of the football category, whilst t...

Re-establishing the ‘outsiders’: English press coverage of the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup:

This article explores the structure and culture of the Football Association
(FA) in relation to the development of England’s first semiprofessional
female soccer league—Women’s Super League (WSL). Through observations
and interviews, we examined the planning and operationalization
of WSL. Drawing on critical feminist literature and theories of
organizational change, we demonstrate the FA’s shift from tolerance of
the women’s game, through opposition, to defining and controlling
elite female club football as a new product shaped by traditional conceptualizations
of gender. The labyrinthine structures of the FA abetted
the exclusion of pre-WSL stakeholders, allowing the FA to fashion a
League imagined as both qualitatively different to elite men’s football
in terms of style of play, appealing to a different fan base, yet inextricably
bound to men’s clubs for support. It concludes by providing recommendations
for how organizational change might offer correctives to the
FA approach to developing WSL.
