Abstract:
In this article I strive to contribute to the discussion on sports white savior narratives and the portrayal of emerging cultural identity as shown in sports dramas. By examining selected movies, I argue that sports dramas extensively use the tropes of white savior narratives and, thus, offer biased understanding of the ethnic minorities` experience and their identity formation process in the United States. ; An extensive body of literature exists to serve as a theoretical basis of the project. I will draw from the theoretical findings on cultural identity by Stuart Hall, Grant Jarvie`s seeking identification and recognition through sport, and Matthew Hughey`s writings on the white savior tropes, among others. ; The corpus of material selected for analysis consists of three mainstream Hollywood productions of the last decade based on true events: Steven Hopkins`s "Race" (2016), Niki Caro`s "McFarland, USA" (2015), and John Lee Hancock`s "TheBlind Side" (2009).
