@DianaTo41965596 @madzj_ @saragrummert I have also witnessed teachers treating athletes differently in class and it is unfair. There is no reason teachers should make it harder for them, when teachers do it students also think it’s okay to engage in that type of behavior. Which is wrong.

In lecture, my group and I gave the presentation of toxic masculinity. However, we did not have enough time to address how women are also affected by toxic masculinity. I found an article that addresses this issue: https://t.co/Fha8vaXqzq @saragrummert #ucr50

@CarmenM87172852 @saragrummert I agree with Evelyn & Francisco. I don’t think it should be monitored or prohibited. There is no reason it should go that far.

Chapter 23 explains the flawed system the NCAA has created for athletes, making sports first priority and academics second. Is the reason for this flawed system that every sport has its own definition to what amateurism is &what requirements it needs to meet? @saragrummert #UCR50

@EvelynLeon___ @saragrummert I believe that Title IX has definitely helped women participate more in higher education and sports. However, there is still an imbalance that they face. Men are still earning more than women, which isn’t fair.

In class and in our readings we have been learning about gender inequity. I’d like to share a video where the women’s USA soccer team speaks out on the pay disparity between the men and themselves. https://t.co/dybEpG7msf

@KarlaCando4 @DianaTo41965596 @saragrummert Many people are influenced by the media and what they see. Being able to use a platform like that and raise awareness will definitely draw many people in. I don’t watch sports but I definitely heard of it so that shows how far it can go.

I came across this video a few days ago and would like to share it with y’all. This is in response to NFL’s protest : https://t.co/Hh19V5wAfL #ucr50 @saragrummert

@KarlaCando4 @saragrummert We encourage campus involvement but when students are involved they get misjudged. For example, I’m in a sorority and as soon as people know that they treat me different. Why is that?

We discussed if students felt that they were getting the “college experience” but what exactly is that? It was very vague. Most students answered the question; however, what where they actually going off on? The college climate or the effort they made regardless of the climate?

[Cristal Espindola @Cristall____]

@EvelynLeon___ I agree. Sports are regarded as tough in our culture and having mental health issues are often seen as a weakness. With the competitive environment and pressure athletes are put in, I assume it must be hard to ask for help.

[Cristal Espindola @Cristall____]

Coaches have to work hard to create a relationship with the players, discipline them, help them better there performance AND still have to balance their personal lives. #UCR50 @saragrummert

[Cristal Espindola @Cristall____]

We have focused on the student-athletes and the struggles they face from balancing their sports life with their academic life. It was not until I saw the video today that I realized coaches sacrifice a lot of their life too.

[Cristal Espindola @Cristall____]

@EvelynLeon___ @saragrummert I was reading that the coaches high pay and their pressure to win games create an environment where sports performance comes first and academics second. There is so much pressure on both ends.

[Cristal Espindola @Cristall____]

The NCAA mandates that college athletes must be amateurs in an intercollegiate sport, and their participation should be motivated mainly by education. Should student-athletes maintain their status as "amateurs"? @saragrummert #UCR50

[Cristal Espindola @Cristall____]

@fx_tsch @saragrummert I agree. Also, the college athletics system contributes to the reality of college students not getting good grades, and the media does exacerbate that image to make it look even worse.

[Cristal Espindola @Cristall____]

In today’s lecture we discussed how racism is a problem in sports, yet is often brushed away. People often attribute black athletes’ success to natural ability, whereas white athletes are described as hardworking. Why is that & how can we stop it ? @saragrummert #UCR50
