Utilizando como ponto de partida o domínio que Benfica, FC Porto e Sporting exercem
na imprensa desportiva nacional, liderada pelo trio composto pelos jornais A Bola,
Record e O Jogo, esta investigação pretendeu averiguar, na medida do possível, o quão
exacerbado é esse domínio, como funciona e as razões da sua existência. Os restantes
clubes da I Liga portuguesa foram usados como termo de comparação, de forma a ser
possível refletir sobre as discrepâncias que existem entre os destaques e o espaço, em
termos de notícias, relativos a este grupo e ao que engloba os denominados “três grandes”
do futebol nacional.
Depois de ter realizado um estágio curricular de três meses (entre 8 de novembro de 2021
e 31 de janeiro de 2022) na redação do Porto do jornal O Jogo, analisei, com recurso a
autores e investigadores da área, a forma como o desporto impacta a sociedade, assim
como a relação que detém com os media. Fui em busca, também, de entender o porquê
de o jornalismo desportivo ser tido em menor estima do que o jornalismo generalista e
de refletir, com base nos dados recolhidos e na minha própria experiência profissional,
como são efetuadas as escolhas que ditam qual o clube que merece ser o grande destaque
da primeira página (também conhecido como manchete) de um jornal desportivo em
Portugal, assim como o porquê de apenas três clubes serem alvo de muito mais
protagonismo do que os restantes, uma questão que parece ser causada apenas por
motivos económicos, mas que envolve muito mais, nomeadamente critérios de
proximidade e consonância inerentes à prática jornalística e a própria cultura desportiva
lusa, assente também no domínio incontestável destes três emblemas.
É ainda importante assinalar a falta de evidências que apontem para um favorecimento
de qualquer um dos jornais desportivos portugueses em relação a um só clube, ao
contrário do que é muitas vezes alegado nas redes sociais e em conversas de café.
Taking into account the dominance that Benfica, FC Porto and Sporting have in the national sports press, which is led by the trio composed by the newspapers A Bola, Record and O Jogo, this research intended to investigate, as far as possible, how exacerbated this dominance is, how it works and the reasons for its existence. The remaining clubs of the portuguese I Liga were used as a term of comparison, in order to be able to reflect on the discrepancies that exist between the spotlight and space, in terms of news, regarding this group and the one that comprises the so-called "big three" of national football. After taking a three-month curricular internship (between 8th November 2021 and 31st January 2022) in the editorial office of the newspaper O Jogo located in Porto, I analysed, based on authors and researchers of the area, the way that sports impacts society, as well as the relationship it has with the media. I also sought to understand why sports journalism is held in lower esteem than general journalism and to reflect, based on the data collected and on my own professional experience, how the choices that dictate which club deserves to be the spotlight of the first page (also known as headline) of a sports newspaper in Portugal are made, as well as investigating why only three clubs are given much more prominence than the others, a question that seems to be caused only by economic reasons, but that involves much more: the criteria of proximity and consonance inherent to the journalistic practice and the portuguese sports culture, also based on the undisputed dominance of these three clubs. It is also important to mention the lack of evidence pointing to a favouritism of any of the portuguese sports newspapers in relation to any club, contrary to what is often alleged on social networks and in coffee chats.
