Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to critically examine the presence of the modern-day Lombardian ethics in sports, specifically football, and sports media through the analysis of Joe Burrow’s recovery from his right calf injury. Through the use of qualitative content analysis with a thematic narrative framework, articles relevant to the injury will be collected and analyzed to examine the pain principle’s influence on how the Cincinnati Bengals organization responded to Burrow’s injury, in addition to how the media contributes to the upholding of this ethic.
