1) Using relevant reading and video content from the first seven modules, identify a few socioeconomic issues that plague a particular major sport. These issues can be focused on traditional socioeconomic variables such as race, class, gender etc., or you can introduce some of your own issue identifications such as laws and rule governance in a sport, or illegal drug use at high school and college level sports, or the economic rights of citizens in public subsidy of sport etc.
2) Provide one specific example, or data point, that illustrates the issues you have identified. For example, think about a key set of statistics, or case studies. Be sure to do some homework here in locating sources for these important examples or data points.
3) Next, explain how the current rules, practices or policies of the sport you are discussing need to be changed in order to address your concerns. The changes to these rules, practices or policies should be specific to your concerns. In order to accomplish this part of the paper, please familiarize yourself with the relevant customs and policies of the sport you are focusing upon. Where you can assess the likelihood of changes in your selected sport, bear in mind that sport, like the broader society, often takes time to evolve on certain issues.
4) Finally, anticipate and analyze the backlash, if any, from your proposed changes. For example, do your proposed changes run counter to broad societal or cultural values? If you do not anticipate any backlash from these proposed changes, please explain why that would be the case. In sum, in your considered assessment how would your proposed changes make the sport, and possibly society itself, better off?
