How to choose a topic
In class, we discussed what topics we
were going to choose and helped each other to decide which they should do. The way
we found easiest was finding a topic that interests the person and narrowing it
down to an aspect of the topic and asking a specific question about this aspect to help make the project. I found that
as I am interested in sport, I am going to take an aspect of sport and make a
question about it to direct my project. I haven’t decided yet but it will be
either to do with homosexuality and its prejudice against homosexuals in a
particular sport or how money is affecting a particular sport.
First article: “Yorkshire Terriers FC
hope to avoid gay stereotypes”
This article states that the attitude
towards homosexuality in sport has changed in recent years and is still
changing for the better. It also claims that famous sports players coming out
such as Gareth Thomas is making homosexual people in sport feel better about
themselves. It also says that there is a “laddy” atmosphere about the game of
football and that can make gay people feel intimidated and scared of coming
out. It also claims that the way to get homosexuality more accepted in sport is
for big names like Gareth Thomas to come out.
Second article: “Is racism a grassroots
football issue?”
This article suggests that the level of
racism in football is atrocious and very constant. An example of Abdul Amin, an
AFC Kriss football player, is used and he says that he gets huge amounts of
racial abuse and that he has considered walking away from the game because of
it. This shows that despite efforts to get rid of it such as the campaign
“let’s kick racism out of football” racism is still a massive issue in the
world of football and Is driving some players to consider quitting.
