Identity and Athlete Activism

Throughout this course, we have focused on how culture and identity operate within sport(s). The six broad identities we have discussed include gender, race, sexuality, class, ability, and religion, which all include complicated ideas and nuances regarding presentation, performance, and perception. Within these categories – and even some not encompassing these categories – there are even more identities we haven’t examined, demonstrating how important it is to critically study sport(s).
Your final paper will focus on identity and activism, social impact, and political outspeaking. You are tasked with looking at how a particular athlete, team, or individual within sport (broadly defined) uses their identity to promote their politics, activism, or impact society.
You can focus on one particular moment of activism, outspeaking, or impact, or you may examine a pattern of activism, outspeaking, and impact. Think about the larger implications of what you are discussing, all of the individuals involved, and the concepts you are examining.

Questions to consider/Use as a guide in developing your ideas:
●Over the past few years, more athletes have used their platform to speak out on issues of social injustice. How do these athletes’ identities inform their decision to use sport as a platform for social change? What challenges do they face?
●Why is sport such a powerful tool to construct identities?
●What is the historical context for this moment of activism or social impact? Remember, just because we are seeing more activism doesn’t mean it hasn’t existed for decades prior to this moment. You always want to consider the history of activism when thinking about the moment, person, league, or organization you will be discussing.
●Is there another moment, individual, or organization that is related to the instance(s) you are analyzing?

In your final paper, please include the following components:
1. You must choose a member of the athletics community (broadly defined) who you feel uses their platform to be an activist, agent of social change, and/or to speak out about their politics. Who are they? What are their identities? How do they use their platform and what do they speak about?
2. How do these individuals’ identities inform their decision to use sport as a platform for social change? What challenges do they face?
3. What makes sport such a powerful tool to construct identities? Are all identities constructed in similar ways?
4. You must use a minimum of seven sources (this includes academic and non-academic). Think about course readings that discuss some of the topics you will cover. What concepts from class relate to the individual you picked and how? Note: Academic readings include journal articles and NOT news sources. You may include news articles/sources like “Privileged” by Kyle Korver but this does NOT count as an academic source. At least three academic sources are required.

Helpful Tips:
●Do not focus on summary or solely include biographical information in your paper. Remember you want to analyze and examine.
●Relate your paper to course concepts and materials, including readings.
●Expand on your use of sources. Use them – especially academic sources – in an in-depth manner, really utilizing the arguments the authors are making.
●Make sure you integrate academic sources and passages into the paper, don’t just briefly mention them.
●Avoid using first-person language. This is a research paper!
●You MAY NOT write about Colin Kaepernick, LeBron James, or Megan Rapinoe

Qualitative Data Collection to Understand Consumers

Essay Assignment #2

There are several key things to look for:

Make a research question and set target consumers for the assignment. For instance, “What are the barriers to non-native international students’ Gamecocks football game attendance?” Provide clarification in your essay. Then, you will collect qualitative data to answer your research question. The grading criteria will be a novelty of your question and whether it is valid from a marketing point of view.

Choose a method for collecting data among in-depth interview, ethnography, and online community observations (e.g., online forums and social media).

Give the reasons why you choose that research question and data collection method.

Find proper sites to collect data. For example:

In-depth interview: If you are interested in sport brand consumers, then you can stay at the Nike store and ask people to have an interview.

Ethnography: If you are interested in Gamecocks football fans, then you can go to the Williams-Brice Stadium to observe their behavior.

Online community observation: If you are interested in Golden States Warriors fans, visit their social media account, and observe their posts and fans’ responses to them.

While collecting the data, you should make some notes based on your observations.

Make some tables for coding the data. You should provide these tables at the end of your essay. You can take pictures of your hand-drawing tables or insert fancy tables in Word. The tables will not be counted in page limits.

Focus on target consumers’ demographic characteristics, motives, values, attitudes, behaviors, etc. You can refer to Kotler’s black box model of consumer behavior in Chapter 3 or state-of-being/mind segmentations in Chapter 4.

Clarify the time, date, sites, and target of the observation.

Suggest findings regarding your research question.

Ex) I found non-native international students have fewer chances to attend the game because their involvement in the Gamecocks community is relatively low. Also, they prefer other sports to football.

Demonstrate what you learned from this assignment. It can be the challenges for collecting the data or the strengths/limitations of qualitative data.
