I would love some input on what are some important issues to cover. Our students took a survey and wanted another elective more focused on sports. However, we also have a character education component that we have to meet, hence a "human rights sports" class.
It's designed for 13-14 year olds in the USA and I'm imagining it very similar to what HBO's, "Real Sports," does.
(Note: If anyone knows an employee at HBO and wants to ask if they ever want to get in the business of curriculum writing, please share! Real Sports is probably a top 5 favorite show of mine ever).
Some topics I'm currently looking at:
- Colin Kaepernick/ Mexico City 1968
- Title IX
- Should college athletes be paid?
- Linsanity
- Nazi Olympics
- Corruption in the IOC and FIFA
- Ethics of sports betting/ fantasy sports
- Concussions
- Economic cost of certain sports over others
- Native Americans, passports and lacrosse
- Tongan immigrants embrace football in Texas
- Michael Sam and gay athletes
- Shaquem Griffin
- The Special and Paralympics
- The Cold War through sport
I'm also interested in looking at geography of certain sports' popularity to also incorporate map skills, but this is really just an off-the-cuff list of what I am imagining.
What are some other issues that would be intriguing to teach and for students to learn about?
Thanks!
