    Pregame: Athletes Making Their Stand Koa Ahgeak University of Alaska Anchorage In Dave Zirin’s essay “Pregame” (Zirin, 2017), he argues that famous pro athletes are starting to realize how much of a change they can make in this world with their actions they do on or off of the court/field by making a “conscious political stand for justice,” (Zirin, 2017, p. 424). He proves his point by providing examples about the 2009 Miami Heat NBA team making a political stand for justice for a young African American teen named Travyon Martin who was shot and killed by a self appointed neighborhood watch leader because he had his hood on which “some pundits in their infinite wisdom believed made him suspicious” (Zirin, 2017, p. 424). After the…

These goals and expectations, though important, are being placed on the children before they are fully capable of dealing with them, which leads directly to her point of the steep drop-out rate.…

Women deserve to be prominent in the world we now live if it’s what they desire for; it shouldn’t be that hard to treat women…
