The Inequalities of sports-female and male athlete (sociology class)
what ( social ) theory you plan to use, what real world example/case you are analyzing, and what your evidence/source material is. You also have to provide three properly formatted citations: two from authors read as part of class; the other which you have found on your own. The journals Journal of Sports and Social Issues and Sport in Society: Cultures, Commerce, Media, Politics will be the best places to search.

I chose to write about female athletes and their struggles, inequality in sports (male vs female, gender ). For the theory I think you can use Feminist theory and queer theories- this is important to mention what kind of theory I’m going to use in my paper.

you can use two of the articles listed below that we study in class ( and two you need to find as mentioned above)
