Although a homophobic and sexist archetype of heterosexual masculinity has been thought to permeate competitive teamsport, matters have been rapidly changing. This is evident in research on openly gay athletes, attitudes among heterosexual athletes, and recent studies on decreasing homophobia among sport media content. In this research, however, we examine how some men still adhere to a homophobic and sexist masculine deposition when discussing sport on the Internet. A textual analysis was used to analyze hegemonic masculinity from a popular American football message board. Although posts related to hegemonic masculinity did not permeate the data, we found that this traditional form of masculinity was upheld through misogyny, homophobia, and the objectification of women. Thus, whereas mainstream sport media is increasingly policed for homophobia and sexism, this research shows that the anonymity of the Internet permits hegemonic masculinity to flourish in specific locations, without contestation.
虽然一个恐同和性别歧视的异性恋男性气概的原型被认为弥漫在竞技团队运动中，但情况正在迅速变化。这在公开同性恋运动员的研究、异性恋运动员的态度以及最近关于减少体育媒体内容中的恐同现象的研究中都很明显。然而，在这项研究中，我们研究了当男性在互联网上讨论体育时，一些人如何仍然坚持恐同和性别歧视的男性气质。我们使用文本分析来分析一个美国流行的足球留言板上的霸权男性气质。虽然与霸权男性气质相关的帖子并没有充斥整个数据，但我们发现，这种传统的男性气质是通过厌女、恐同和对女性的物化来维持的。因此，虽然主流体育媒体越来越受到恐同和性别歧视的监管，但这项研究表明，互联网的匿名性允许霸权男性气质在特定地点不受质疑地盛行。
