Professor U- Round 1

I know I have yapped enough at the start of class but now I want to turn over the sharing to the class.  Think of it as a hive experience.

Sports Vocab-
Not everyone knows this sport and there are elements beauty/grace/courage/brilliance that may be lost on the casual viewer.  Your job is to introduce us to either a term (bean, salary cap, icing) /strategy (West Coast Offense-Rope-a-Dope)/ or historical moment (El Classico, The Drive, Thrilla in Manila, etc) of that game so that we can learn to appreciate your sport with more depth.  To include in the slide:

• Video of this in action
• Who was/were/are the best at it?

Get a thumbs up from me before you start.  No repeats!

Sports Controversy-  

Is there a current concern or a long standing debate boiling within your sport?

• concussions? (Health)
• rookie contracts, transfer fees? (economics)
• gambling, fantasy sports?
• GOAT
• race/culture/gender (Redskins, Rousey, etc)
• youth sports

Post the article on the Classroom stream prior to the day you present.  Use the Professor U Round 1 Slide shared with you to share any video/ photos.

The content of your brief presentation should include the following:

• Background of this issue (25+ ACL injuries, millions in lost revenue/investment)
• Summary of both sides of the debate (players vs. owners vs. ???)
• Some proposed solutions to this issue (feel free to comment whether solution is realistic)
• Why is this interesting to you?
