Impressive! More college athletes are choosing their battles in the name of fairness and in the name of basic rights and well-being.

@EddieComeaux From the article,I found out that Ellis McKennie became an artivist to fight for the basic rights for athletes. And I learned that there are so many good people out there who wants to help us. We can find the support if we speak out loud.We are not alone. #collegeathletics

In today’s lecture,I found out that so many colleges just do not care what will happen if athletes finish their jobs. They just push athletes and take advantage of them. Colleges do not even care their careers. #ucr50 @saragrummert

@torivargas09 @saragrummert I totally agree with you. So many colleges just do not care what will happen if athletes finish their jobs. They just push athletes and take advantage of them. Colleges do not even care their career in the real lives. #ucr50 @saragrummert

@AlondraNieto10 @saragrummert I totally agree with you. Athletes may over spend their time in practice because of coaches. It is not fair for them. In this case,they need to balance between their school work and practices.#ucr50 @saragrummert

[Jun Yang @JunYang07092121]

When athletes get involved in the practice in schools. They will spend so many time in college practice. So sometimes coaches may ask athletes to practice over time. That’s not fair for athletes.#ucr50 @saragrummert

@gtoscano26 @saragrummert I totally agree with you.Title IX is the legislation which helps females to get more involved in games. Even though female players do not get the same rights as male players,the situation is getting better and better. #ucr50 @saragrummert

@_janaee_ @saragrummert I totally agree with you. The environment and the people around us make who we are. We can influence by others and if we find out that we are not treated equally like others, we need to earn that right and fight for it.#ucr50 @saragrummert

[Jun Yang @JunYang07092121]

In today’s lecture,I found out that we need to stand up to fight for our rights if we think we lose it. No one can fight for us until we really care about it. For example, the black people do not have the some rights as whites. #ucr50 @saragrummert

@khuer002 @saragrummert I totally agree with you. At the most of time,athletes have the ability to get good grades. However,the stereotypes in society influences them which makes them think that is who they are. I think athletes need to prove themselves.#ucr50 @saragrummert

[Jun Yang @JunYang07092121]

In today’s lecture,I found out that athletes are stereotyped by professors and other non-athlete students. In this way,athletes are not treated correctly in schools by others as students. It is not fair for them and not fair for their academic careers. #ucr50 @saragrummert

[Jun Yang @JunYang07092121]

In today's class,I found out that men's and women's basketball players miss the most classes,like 2.4 and 2.5 per week. That's is unbelievable. I think it totally influences their school works. It is not good for their future. @saragrummert #ucr50

@SandraH150 @saragrummert I totally agree with you. It is not fair if athletes can get an advantage into universities. Every students should in the some competition and get some chances. #ucr50 @saragrummert

[Jun Yang @JunYang07092121]

@SandraH150 @saragrummert I totally agree with you. The students pay the tuition fees in order to get good study environment. If universities give the high pay to coaches.I do not think students can get enough quality education in universities. #ucr50 @saragrummert

[Jun Yang @JunYang07092121]

It makes me feel shocked that college coaches can earn that much money. And the athletes barely get pay.I realized that coaches get high pay because they can bring the money during games. However,I think athletes should get pay too. #ucr50 @saragrummert

[Jun Yang @JunYang07092121]

@mcruzmagana @saragrummert I totally agree with you. Nowadays,we put too much pressure on the players in colleges. Sometimes,the players cannot even enjoy the game. In the meantime, there is also a bunch of money getting involved the game. So the game is not pure anymore. #ucr50 @saragrummert

Before this class,I did not realize that athletics can have an influence in the United States. And the success of college sports can create big interests from students. #ucr50 @saragrummert https://t.co/0iBYIpvCHg…
