@DianaTo41965596 @saragrummert I agree with this because with the label of student athlete,staff tend to focus solely on the “athletic” aspect, rather than the student “aspect.” This, in turn, puts pressure on the college athletes to maintain their eligibility to play, not for life after #ucr50@saragrummert
Student Athletes must obtain certain requirements in order to be eligible to play. However, the stereotype of the athlete not being as smart may hurt them in their academics. Does college really help college athletes in life post graduation? #ucr50@saragrummert
@Kass_DeLaCruzzz @saragrummert I don’t think you should get penalized for your posts if your account is set as private. You have the right to speak out, and it isn’t fair for them to be penalized for something they have control over #ucr50@saragrummert
Institutions should not be able to monitor/intervene with the student athletes’ social medias because it is their personal account that doesn’t necessarily affect their athletics. #ucr50@saragrummert
@EvelynLeon___ @saragrummert It is effective in that there has been increases in gender equality and that women have been given more opportunities usually given to men. However, society today still has gender inequalities that Title IX hasn’t solved. #ucr50@saragrummert
We talked about how Title IX is useful in gender equity for intercollegiate Athletics. Since its arrival, how has it helped women in the department of athletics? #ucr50@saragrummert
@DianaTo41965596 @saragrummert I think the field is a good place for social activism because sports generally draw the attention of a lot of people both in person and through televised viewing. Therefore, it will bring the attention to those who support their teams. #ucr50@saragrummert
With colleges using the method of interest convergence to attract students, how does it affect those of color who see diversity through the advertisements but face otherwise? #ucr50@saragrummert
@Cristall____@saragrummert I think it’s like that because sororities have these labels, just like everything and everyone. When there is a label, people see that person/thing through that lens. Prejudice is a common issue, causing these perceptions. #ucr50@saragrummert
Why are student-athletes stereotyped as stupid and slow learners to their professors and non-athlete peers? Is this stereotype subject to change anytime soon? Why or why not? @saragrummert#ucr50
@TannerA08536063 @saragrummert Yes, they do make better students because in order to be a student athlete, they must maintain certain academic requirements. However, due to the required hours of studying, they are forced to focus on both athletics and academics. @saragrummert#ucr50
It is crazy how coaches receive extremely high salaries, whereas students don’t always get compensated. If their salaries decreased, what could be the possible outcome for both the coaches and the athletes? Would the athletes benefit from this at all? @saragrummert#ucr50
@guuaadalupee19@saragrummert It is odd how student-athletes are more seen through the athlete aspect of it. It depends whether or not they have scholarships, but regardless, it is evident that coaches do get high pay. It may be due to the fact that coaching is a job, whereas sports are, I assume, voluntary.
Should the opportunity for students to organize intercollegiate Athletics like they did in the past be more available?Why or why not? #ucr50@saragrummert
@amberchacon16 If students were to run/organize intercollegiate Athletics, the outcome of games and profits would be greater because it shows the commitment students have in organizing athletics. Also, students would be able to connect with each other more on the same level. @saragrummert
