Hi Fatima,

You can try checking out some of the articles on http://www.xyonline.net/category/article-content/sport-0 There are other resources on XY,  a website focused on men, masculinities, and gender politics.

This short video "Masculine Values & Sports Films" cites two articles at the end: https://vimeo.com/165364703

Videos

Jackson Katz has made documentaries and Ted Talks about masculinity in American Culture: http://www.jacksonkatz.com/videos/

The Mask You Live In looks at the way we socialize boys and narrow definitions of masculinity.

Byron Hurt's Hip Hop: Beyond Beats and Rhymes: http://www.bhurt.com/films/view/hip_hop_beyeond_beatsand_rhymes is a great film that critiques Hip Hop, often a central aspect of sports culture, particularly in the gym. Worth considering.

The Media Education Foundation has a collection of films that look at masculinity: http://shop.mediaed.org/the-empathy-gap-p180.aspx

TEDx Talk by Jim Thompson, founder of Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA), a nonprofit dedicated to using sports to develop Better Athletes, Better People. Nicely outlines the PCA philosophy. Could be useful for coaches, athletics staff, and student athletes.

Good afternoon,

I hope this email finds you well.

I imagine this has been share before, but can someone share any movies and/or articles that address sports culture, violence, and masculinity?

I am trying to compile a list.

Thanks, in advance.
