Sports Violence and Suspensions
The Facts
Los Angeles Angels designated hitter Jorge Soler and Atlanta Braves pitcher Reynaldo López each received seven-game suspensions from Major League Baseball following their ejection after participating in a brawl. The suspensions were announced on Wednesday by MLB. The second article covers an entirely different story about concession prices at Augusta National golf course during the Masters tournament.
How different outlets are framing this
The provided articles actually cover two completely separate sports stories, making meaningful framing analysis impossible. ABC News reports straightforwardly on the MLB suspensions following the Angels-Braves altercation, focusing on the disciplinary action taken by the league. Fox News covers an entirely unrelated story about the notably low concession prices at Augusta National during the Masters, emphasizing fan reactions and social media praise for the affordable food options. There is no overlap in subject matter, sources, or perspective to analyze different framings of the same event. The articles would need to cover the same incident to conduct a proper framing analysis of how different outlets are presenting the story.
