@sophiacolis01 @TA_ED50 It is interesting to see how universities praise diversity but fail to show that there is privilege and like you mentioned more favorable to a certain race @abhornUCRedu #UCR50

It is not a surprise to see how white student athletes are treated compared to other student athletes and how they receive different privileges, will that ever change? @abhornUCRedu #UCR50

@stephanieW010 @KatryaLy I agree, it doesnt make sense how college athletes endure so much and have such a different lifestyle than normal college students yet don’t receive what they deserve! #UCR50 @abhornUCRedu

[Maira Ortiz @morti096]

There needs to be a change!!! Student athletes do not profit off their own name, rather they are the ones to be doing all the work. It just doesnt seem right! #UCR50 @abhornUCRedu

@WeissJorda13708 @abhornUCRedu It is so saddening to see all the obstacles and challenges placed upon women, rather than lifting and supporting them society tends to bring them down and unfortunately that is the sad reality!

Title IX has made a great impact within sports but there is still so much work to do to truely achieve equality!!!

@UCErik050 @abhornUCRedu Hi Erik! I think you pose an excellent question! It’s interesting to see how many sports claim diversity yet there we don’t see much of it.

Athletes deserve equal opportunities, it is important to have diversity in sports because it promotes unique perspectives, new opportunities, and even new relationships and opportunities!!!

@AAlmarez80596 @abhornUCRedu I totally agree, I think it is important to remember that college athletes are on a tighter schedule and don’t always have the time like the rest of the students. Schools should try to accommodate to student athletes and their time!

It is easy to doubt ourselves as college students but it can be more stressful as an athlete. How does this doubt from professors, family, or society affect a college athlete mentally and physically?

@wgerv001 @abhornUCRedu hey wendy! it can be super draining to manage everything these student athletes must endure especially because they have to make sure they meet what is expected from them in all areas making them challenge and push themselves even more! #UCR50 @abhornUCRedu

[Maira Ortiz @morti096]

College athletes are both athletes AND students, meaning they need time to learn how to balance out what is expected from them both physically and academically. How do student athletes balance the two out to meet what is expected from them?!
