J. Stone considered the way that racialised ideas affect the way black and white athletes interpret and internalise their own potential for success consequently effecting motivation and levels of effort in regard to related activities. The contemporary unease with 'race' is revealed in the increasing ethnic divisions across nation states, the prevalence of Islamophobia and rise of the Right at all levels of politics across the globe. The colour-blindness of organisations continues in the operation of racecraft when 'race' is ignored as a factor in how business is done in sport.

Racecraft can be encapsulated in the way that leadership in sport has a predominantly racialised and gendered dynamic.Read More
