This qualitative textual analysis examines the attitudes and beliefs of the U.S. sports industry reflected in news stories through quotations (n = 405) employed by writers in the media. The researchers analyzed quotations from U.S. national newspapers regarding Jason Collins (National Basketball Association) and Michael Sam (National Football League), the first openly gay athletes in their sports leagues, and their coming-out announcements. The findings from the quotations suggest that the National Basketball Association is more accepting toward the presence of gay male teammates than adhering to a more inclusive definition of masculinity. The National Football League, however, is more resistant to the presences of gay male teammates, with more attitudes aligned with a traditional hegemonic masculinity. Whereas both organizations openly state their support for equality, there are still obstacles to achieving GLBT equality in professional sports leagues.
这项定性文本分析通过媒体作者使用的引语（n = 405），审视了新闻报道中所反映的美国体育产业的态度和信念。研究人员分析了美国全国性报纸中关于杰森·柯林斯（美国职业篮球联赛）和迈克尔·萨姆（美国国家橄榄球联盟）的引语，他们分别是各自体育联盟中首位公开出柜的同性恋运动员以及他们的出柜声明。引语中的研究结果表明，美国职业篮球联赛对同性恋男性队友的存在更为接纳，而非坚持更具包容性的男子气概定义。然而，美国国家橄榄球联盟对同性恋男性队友的存在更为抵触，更多态度与传统霸权男子气概相符。尽管两个组织都公开表示支持平等，但在职业体育联盟中实现同性恋、双性恋、跨性别者及酷儿群体（GLBT）平等仍存在障碍。
