There are three vocal points in this study, which is finding: (1) representation of LGBT only as a sports enthusiast, not as professional or talented one, (2) sports is depicted as an arena for LGBT to present the self-narrative of their coming-out process as well as the self-declaration of their gender identity to the public, and (3) Nike still affirms the domination of heteronormativity ideology in sport. Nike only emphasizes Bretman Rock in every aspect that contrasts with the other ambassadors.
