This article analyzes the Fox Sports 1 sports debate program Speak for Yourself. The article analyzes the thematic frames the show utilizes to espouse and reinforce sport as a site of conservative value-making and male bonding. In using an interracial male pairing of Colin Cowherd and Jason Whitlock, the show mimics similarly popular debate programs on rival network ESPN, such as Pardon the Interruption and First Take. However, Whitlock in particular advances a unique brand of Black conservatism, and his clashes with progressive activists and other black guests represent intraracial tensions among Black sport media members. This paper argues Speak for Yourself brings Newscorp’s conservative messaging to a nominally apolitical space in sport media.

“为自己说话”：福克斯体育1，重塑体育保守主义，以及特朗普时代的“坚持体育”

本文分析了福克斯体育1台的体育辩论节目《为自己说话》。文章分析了该节目用来支持和强化体育作为保守价值创造和男性联系场所的主题框架。该节目使用科林·考赫德 (Colin Cowherd) 和杰森·惠特洛克 (Jason Whitlock) 的跨种族男性配对，模仿了竞争对手 ESPN 网络上类似的热门辩论节目，例如《Pardon the Interruption》和《First Take》。然而，惠特洛克特别倡导了一种独特的黑人保守主义品牌，他与进步活动人士和其他黑人嘉宾的冲突代表了黑人体育媒体成员之间的种族间紧张关系。本文认为，《为自己说话》将新闻集团的保守信息带入体育媒体名义上非政治的空间。
