摘要：A study of the newspaper representations of soccer in Slovenia reveals a history of oppositions and struggle and shows the effects of media workers and their reports on the public acceptance of soccer. Throughout the century, soccer has functioned as a site of constant negotiations between the attractiveness of the game and the moral values attributed to it. The hegemonic nationalist discourse that accompanied the rise of soccer in Slovenia, which is obviously traceable in the newspaper accounts from different periods, denied its potential to work for the national cause and branded it as a foreign, health hazardous, harmful, violent and immoral sport. This study analyses the representations of soccer in the biggest 20th-century Slovenian quality and sport newspapers and includes only one part of the analyzed data that adequately show the prevailing newspaper discourses on soccer throughout the century and explain its contemporary social position.
