Varios estudios describen cómo el deporte mediatizado y sus discursos pueden alentar sentimientos de pertenencia a, por ejemplo, una nación o un pueblo. Sin embargo, esta imagen se ve cuestionada por investigaciones que interpretan el deporte como un espacio donde también se reproducen discursos de exclusión, promoviendo estereotipos de género o etnia desde las redes sociales. Este artículo explora cómo la juventud utiliza estos dispositivos para consumir información deportiva y cómo recurre a estereotipos al referirse a sus ídolos deportivos. Participaron 41 estudiantes de entre 16 y 18 años de la comarca de Osona (Cataluña) y su profesorado, en el año 2023, a través de una metodología cualitativa (creación de un post en Instagram, grupos focales de discusión y entrevistas semiestructuradas). Se concluye que las redes sociales son un espacio de libertad para los adolescentes y que, en el ámbito deportivo, consumen principalmente fútbol y Fórmula 1. Los jóvenes también reconocen sus externalidades negativas y la normalización de discursos de odio. No obstante, configuran a sus ídolos o héroes deportivos de forma poliédrica: valoran tanto sus habilidades como su compromiso social o la capacidad de desarrollar narrativas alternativas a los discursos dominantes.
