Diversity issue in sports

Description

Each student will pick a “diversity” related issue within their chosen realm of sport management. For example (and DO NOT choose this) you could analyze how Colin Kaepernick kneeling impacted the 49ers marketing, etc. The main goal is to choose an area that you are interested in and go from there!

Each student will prepare one essay based on a specific topic or issue (from the course schedule listed above). Each essay will be no less than 1,500 words (should more likely be closer to 2,000 words) and no more than 2,500 words, not including references, headers, etc. The assignment will be completed in APA format.

Your paper should have a minimum of 5 sources. *Note: academic sources come from books and peer reviewed journals.

Each essay will critically examine a current event, team, celebrity, organization, or other aspect of contemporary sport culture related to diversity. To do this, you will need to offer an interpretive analysis of the issue at hand using both course concepts and outside sources. This paper should not be only a summary of the topic, but should instead be a critical analysis.

These essays are not book reports.You should not write essays that detail the auto-biographical on-goings of the world of sport. Rather, you will use your essay to create a series of arguments (based on research), and integrate both theoretical frameworks and real world examples to support your assertions.
