woman, Marion Jones, faces as a basketball, and track and field star. Although being a post-title IX athlete, Jones’ story tells of gender issues that still existed during her stardom, including socialization, physical gender gaps, media coverage, availability of female coaches, and the female physique within sports. The film illustrates the chronicles and journey of becoming a female world class athlete; the exploration of a woman who can be described as doing what she thought was necessary in…

Another reason I believe why these athletes are employees is that they are economically dependent on their universities, just as most of traditional relationships between employer and employees. College football players are dependent on their universities through basic survival needs, such as food and shelter (McCormick., McCormick, 2006). Only some of the players are given grants and aids to be able to eat as they would not be able to finically support themselves without it (McCormick.,…

game, or just an activity. However, this is not the case. Golf should be considered a sport because of the income brought in by the athletes, how it has been put into the Olympics (the ultimate worldwide sporting event), and how it is played just like other sports, amateurly and professionally. Based on income, athletes that compete in golf are some of the best paid athletes in the entire world. Two of the top four richest athletes of all time are golfers. Arnold Palmer, who has a Net…

more famous than the sports teams themselves would be the athletes who get paid millions of dollars a year to play for them.

seniors are getting their first real taste of freedom, college basketball hopefuls are still having their options limited just like they always have for the past 10 years due to the one-and-done rule. This rule, known as Article X, states that an aspiring basketball player must be at least 19 years old and at least one year removed from high school for them to be eligible for the NBA Draft. This affects so many more people than just the athlete involved, and that is why the one-and-done rule…
