    Throughout the story, Bissinger highlights these problems, connecting each of them to the Permian “football addiction”. The purpose of this book is to highlight important societal issues that are still present today, while giving the readers a story of how something as small as a high school football team can make those problems seem irrelevant. For example, the matter of racism seems to be significant in the town of Odessa in 1988. At Permian High, a primarily white high school, African Americans are only seen as useful when it comes to sports, especially…

    I didn’t even realize how much discrimination and hierarchy there is in the sports industry until I read this book. In Rhoden’s book, Forty Million Dollar Slaves, he continuously presents the reader with example after example about how much of a minority African Americans are in the sports industry. Under the white hierarchy on these coaches and owners and the media now, there is no escape. In addition, because athletes’ salaries and comparative to the salaries of coaches, the system has yet to be questioned. The coaches may be higher up in the hierarchy in the sports system, but the athletes ultimately determine their salary and what they want.…

    In Odessa, Texas, only one thing matters. Not college, or politics, or work, but high school football. In the book Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, A Dream by H.G. Bissinger, the town of Odessa is placed under a microscope as the reader gets to experience the intersection of sport, race, and gender in a small Texas town. “Football stood at the very core of what the town was about, not on the outskirts, not on the periphery. It had nothing to do with entertainment and everything to do with how people felt about themselves.”…

    College sports have become a universal pastime for many Americans. Popularity of college sports has peaked with the 2014 inaugural college football playoffs, becoming “[t]he two most-watched broadcasts in cable TV history,” with a combined total of 56.5 million viewers between the two semifinal games according to CNN (Pallotta). Young men playing college sports are exciting as it brings back the college atmosphere that many older individuals crave. However, some question if African-American players in football and basketball are being exploited by the greedy NCAA supporting racial discrimination and cashing in on these innocent, unpaid students? Donald H. Yee attempts to answer this question by displaying a world of athletes, mostly represented…

    David Pryor knew he was beat. He knew it from the start, but he spoke from his heart, picked up support from Cliff Gibson, but they went down strongly but quietly Thursday as the University of Arkansas board of trustees voted 8-2 for a $160 million expansion to Reynolds Razorback Stadium. It wasn't denied the project most likely will be more in the neighborhood of $200 million when completed. Before doing the math, which shows that is more than $60,000 for each of the proposed 3,000-plus additional seats -- all in luxury suites most of us will only see through binoculars -- understand a big part of that money is for the new athletic facility that will have underground parking so, as one former trustee said, it will keep the administration from…

    Sitting in the confines of the Miller's Ale House in Tallahassee, I positioned myself in perfect position: on the outside seat of the long, wood bench seat in perfect view of the matchup between the undefeated Green Bay Packers -- my team -- and the San Diego Chargers. In closer proximity was my feast. Nachos piled high with cheese, sour cream, jalapenos, chicken and salsa; cheese curds, a Wisconsin favorite and a tall glass of Angry Orchard hard cider. I set my self up dressed in my old-school, long-sleeved Ray Nietzsche jersey in honor of the throwback jerseys the Pack was wearing from the 1930's and 40's. Soon kick off was upon us.…

    Twenty years ago baseball was graced with an abundance of talented African American players. Players who broke records, won championships, and captured the audience of America. Now the same amount of black talent in this sport is hard to find. There aren’t as many black stars as there once were.

    A common theme in sports is the friction between team owners and players in regards to salary and race. Just recently in this past year, the NBA commissioner ordered LA Clippers Donald Sterling out of his team’s business and urging him to sell due to racist remarks. (Greg Botelho, 2014) Still in 2014, there is racial discrimination just as in the 1920’s, 30’s, and 40’s, even though Abe Saperstein was known as the person who had forced integration of African Americans into basketball.

    Even though this part of the essay is very informative and holds important data, it makes the reader question if the statistics are truly accurate. Gates never mentions where Sports Illustrated receives this information or any other details as to where the numbers come from. For all the reader knows the information listed could be entirely false. In addition, another crucial piece of material that was lacking from the essay was information regarding the inner-city school systems, specifically the schools that are primarily made up of African American student body’s. The essay mentions that these schools are pushing kids through the educational system without meeting the proper requirements.…

    Sports and Sustainability. Even for environmentally-conscious sports fans, not often enough do we see both words in the same sentence.

Nevertheless, teams are building new stadiums which are proving to be beacons for sustainability and green living as a whole. Four of the seven stadiums on this list are either owned or being occupied by NFL teams.…
