Both sports and politics.

Question

Description

For your Week 10 Discussion Board assignment, I'd like to ask each of you to identify a current event that you would like to discuss. As this week's material is related to sports and politics, the current event you choose should have to do with both sports and politics.

First, identify a current news story related to sports and politics. You may use any news outlet of your choosing. Provide a link to the article, and compose a brief description of its contents.

Then, answer the following questions: What does this event tell you about the relationship between sports and politics more broadly? Can politics and sports ever be fully separated? Is the event you've chosen part of a current trend, or is it a continuation of how things have always been? What do you think the future of sports and politics will look like?
