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.

Feels like it’s time to start engaging properly on here.

Started the morning with a coffee (the festive cups are back! 🌲), before a great day on campus with @ou-sport.bsky.social colleagues. Always energising to carve out time for writing and sharing research ideas.

A productive day all round.

Brilliant presentation in the opening panel from @laurensmith.bsky.social, looking at NBC's coverage of the Paris Olympics.
