Florida State University Diversity and Inclusion in Sports Paper

I’m working on a management question and need a sample draft to help me learn.

Each student will pick a “diversity” related issue within their chosen realm of sport management. For example (and DO NOT choose this) you could analyze how Colin Kaepernick kneeling impacted the 49ers marketing, etc.

Each student will prepare one essay based on a specific topic or issue. Each essay will be no less than 1,500 words (should more likely be closer to 2,000 words) and no more than 2,500 words, not including references, headers, etc. The assignment will be completed in APA format.

Your paper should have a minimum of 5 sources; 2 from in-class and 3 external academic sources.

Each essay will critically examine a current event, team, celebrity, organization, or other aspect of contemporary sport culture related to diversity. To do this, you will need to offer an interpretive analysis of the issue at hand using both course concepts and outside sources. This paper should not be only a summary of the topic, but should instead be a critical analysis.

These essays are not book reports.You should not write essays that detail the auto-biographical on-goings of the world of sport. Rather, you will use your essay to create a series of arguments (based on research), and integrate both theoretical frameworks and real world examples to support your assertions.

The course is diversity in sport. The book is Diversity and inclusion in sport organizations.

Diversity and Inclusion in Sport Organizations: A Multilevel Perspective is a comprehensive introduction to the ways in which people differ—including race, gender, age, mental and physical ability, appearance, religion, sexual orientation, and social class—and the importance of these differences for sport organizations.

It offers strategies for managing diversity in work and sport environments and provides an overview of diversity training that can be implemented in the workplace. Grounded in research and theory and outlining best practice, this fully updated and revised edition includes more international examples and expanded coverage of topics, such as critical disability studies, women of color, and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex issues, as well as useful teaching and learning features in every chapter and additional online resources.

This is important reading for students working in the fields of sport business, sport management, sport development or sport coaching, HR management in sport, sport in society, sport participation, ethical leadership in sport, or introductory sport management courses.
