** An idea I was thinking of was Deion Sanders. How he started out as head coach for an HBCU (Jackson State University) and how much he did for that school and the football organization there but has not made the decision to go to Colorado Boulder as Head Coach. There’s been so much controversy around his decision that because he’s black, he should’ve stayed at an HBCU to continue to help “his people”.
We will be graded as follows:
* Integration of course concepts
* The event reveals something significant and insightful about the relationship between race, gender and sport
* Description of event
* Clear Analysis
* Works cited/MLA format
