Where is that ching chong?” Jack yelled as he walked into the boy’s locker room. “Hey man, calm down!” said Julio while blocking Jack from SunWoo who is taking off his football halmet. “Hey! Get off from me beaner, move!” said Jack as he pushed Julio. “Hey you, nerd, what you doing here? Huh? This place is not for a person like you. Go do math!” Jack claimed to SunWoo with an anger.
Jack Johnson was a quarterback football star of Wills High School until a month ago when a new Asian-American student, SunWoo Lee, transferred from California. In the fall 2016 football season tryouts, SunWoo showed an impressive accuracy, good footwork, and perfect mechanics, and soon became rising star of Wills High School. “Huddle up!” coach Brown with a deep voice shouted with three times whistling. “Hey Jack! SunWoo! Everyone, coach just whistled three times. We gotta go” said DeShawn as he walked out the locker room. Soon after, Jack left the room with a look of scowling at SunWoo. “You okay man?” said Julio as he walked up to SunWoo. “Yea, I’m used to with hatred against me.

    Reflective Essay On Race, Gender, Class In Sports

    This class on Race, Gender, Class in Sports has made me think of things that I never even thought of before. I played sports, but never thought anything more than I played the sport and I enjoyed it, I never thought of how we got to this sport I play, or how I as a woman am able to play sports, or even how the game came to be. Some lessons I learned over this course are sports have come a long way, each sport has their own history, sports should rely on performance, to not take sports for granted, that race, gender and class are still the foundation of sports, and that we will always have obstacles to overcome in sports. In sports we will always be trying to strive and improve sports through race, gender and class along with trying to rely on performance to guide us in the…
