"Race and how it evolves into something more than just research"
"Kerstin Kimel(2001) states that lacrosse is perceived as a white-girl sport, without a doubt," said women's lacrosse coach Kerstin Kimel. "I think that presents a little bit of a challenge for some of the girls.... I think it's a sport that a lot of young African Americans don't play. Truthfully, that's just the way it is." That quote is from one of my sources that i will be using on my research project. The tittle of the newspaper is "The Chronicle" and it will be a source to help me get my point across. I'm not sure if i am having my question to broad. Thats why i'm glad that my teacher helped me out with ideas and suggestions for my research.

I think the topic of your paper is really interesting. The first thing that came to mind when I heard your topic was actually the movie Remember the Titans. Kind of silly I know, but it may actually be an interesting idea for your paper. You could incorporate what the Civil Rights Movement meant for sports, in schools as well as the pros. Many people don't think about it, but race is a big part of sports today. You see all different types of people in each sport, but there are still some that are labeled as "white-girl" sports. I guess some things will never change.
ReplyDeleteThat is very interesting, white-girl sport. I didn't know that we had just white-girl sports, or black-girl sports, just thought if you liked the sport, you played, you played for the love of the game not the color of your skin. Needless to say I like your topic. I think it'll open a lot of doors for people to think about this type of stuff, the stuff we really don't think about but once it is address we realize it is happening. In a way this ties into my project, race today, how we know its there but don't really notice it. Good topic.
