Numerous times I have heard a faculty member, who traditionally uses quantitative methods, ask a graduate student using qualitative methods ‘How did you address your biases?’ This question is almost never asked to those using quantitative methods. I say almost never because I am usually the one who will ask this to students using quantitative approaches. Maybe I should not do that as it is not fair to a student who is not trained or expected to address one’s subjectivities. But equally so, for a student who is trained to accept, acknowledge, and address their preconceived ideas, prior experiences, and assumptions (i.e., researcher reflexivity) it is not fair to claim they are biased. I cringe when I hear that word (bias), because biases are viewed as something to be excluded or removed from research in order to achieve objectivity. I have wondered ‘How do I forget what I already know when I collect and analyze the data? Do we want to completely remove our emotions, hunches, intuitions, and experiences from our research? Can I critically evaluate the data without acknowledging my own expectations and knowledge?’ While we need to be careful with our biases as they can lead us to unjustified conclusions, it is unrealistic to suggest that we can or want to keep them in check. At the same time, I am happy to see that it is more common for studies based on qualitative methods to be presented at conferences and published in journals in our field. Sport management research has evolved since Olafson (1990) observed that the most common data collection methods in our field were questionnaires (55%) and archival methods (20%). Very few studies at that time used qualitative research methods, such as interviews (7%) or observations (0%). Now, there is recognition of the value of qualitative research to further our knowledge of sport management phenomena (see Nite & Singer, 2013). However, I go back to Olafson’s (1990, p. 116) paper where he critiqued the sport management field for its over-reliance on questionnaires and argued that ‘‘given the wide range of data collection procedures available, SM [sport management] researchers must begin to explore other data gathering methods.’’ While we are using a wider range of qualitative and quantitative methods, I must admit, I do not often review an article or an abstract and think ‘This is a new and exciting approach. I’d like to learn more about it.’ Instead, many qualitative researchers in sport management (including myself) use safe, traditional designs, data collection methods, and data analysis approaches. Maybe this is happening because the disbelievers are just starting to accept qualitative research, and thus we do not want to risk acceptance in the field by discussing or using less conventional data collection and analysis methods or ways of disseminating research. Or perhaps there is a lack of awareness of different, creative and innovative qualitative approaches that are being used in other fields like nursing, education, sociology and organisation studies. For example, Buchanan and Bryman’s (2009) edited book on organisational research methods includes chapters on innovative approaches such as narrative-based methods, discourse analysis, visual methods, organizational auto/ethnography, and using film as data. Denzin and Lincoln’s (2011) regularly updated handbook on qualitative research methods provides overviews of traditional (e.g., case study, observations, focus groups) and contemporary research methods (e.g., participatory action research, narrative inquiry, arts-based inquiry, online ethnography). Like Sally, I agree that qualitative research methods have the potential to push our research in sport management. While researchers commonly use them to explore relatively new concepts and phenomena, such as organisational readiness (Casey, Payne, & Eime, 2012) and sense of community (Fairley & Tyler, 2012; Warner & Dixon, 2011), qualitative research methods can add new insight to concepts that have been the focus of study for some time like volunteerism (e.g., Byers, 2013) or organisational change (e.g., Nite & Singer, 2012; Skille, 2011). For example, one could come to the conclusion based on the existing literature on sport fandom that there is a shared and stable understanding of what it means to be a sport fan. I am more apt to believe that there are some common experiences, but that women, as one distinct group, face challenges that men do not as fans. Qualitative approaches can help us to learn about and uncover what it means to be female and a sport fan, or a visible minority who is a new supporter of a local team, or a male non-fan. Traditional research methods based on an objectivist epistemology (i.e., ‘‘meaning [of things] exists as such apart from the operation of any consciousness’’; Crotty, 2011, p. 8) and a (post-) positivist approach (i.e., the researcher follows the scientific method to uncover the true meaning of objects) would be inappropriate in capturing personal and unique experiences of a range of sport fans as it would assume there is one true and shared understanding of fandom. In contrast, qualitative methods based on constructionist (i.e., people construct meanings of things) or interpretivist (i.e., meanings are contextually and historically situated; Crotty, 2011) viewpoints would acknowledge that interpretations and experiences of phenomena, like fandom, are not shared but rather are varied and subjective.
