1. Pick a contemporary sport with which they have some personal experience
a. NOTE: for this third essay, you can either examine the same sport from your second essay, or choose a new sport.
2. Do a bit of online research on this chosen sport using the Internet and TU Library resources (databases and catalog). Learn about the organization of the sport in the twenty-first century: is it mostly a “privatized” sporting opportunity? Is it mostly a “public” sport (meaning, opportunities are provided by governmental, municipal, or other public institutions)? If the sport is privatized, how has it been commercialized? Where are the sporting opportunities typically located, and how much do they cost?
3. Develop and write a formal essay in which you examine the ways in which neoliberal processes (i.e., privatization, “responsibilitization”) have impacted the sport.
