Abstract
While studies of rhetoric and discourse have recently embraced a turn to “field methods,” studies of sport discourse have remained reliant on textual or mediated artifacts. In an effort to help shift focus to other methods, this chapter leverages the authors’ experiences “being there” for the 2019 FIFA World Cup to ask what the women’s soccer World Cup meant on social, cultural, and rhetorical levels. Specifically, this chapter provides alternating narratives from a diverse set of experiences that provide in-depth assessment of the impact and complexity of FIFA World Cup 2019. Through this chapter, the authors hope to demonstrate the value of emplaced, embodied, critical rhetorical analysis of sport, with particular attention to queer and feminist resistance in fan spaces of FIFA World Cup 2019.
