Presenter: Elizabeth Conant EdD, Assistant Professor of Sport Management and Faculty Athletics Representative. Throughout history and up to modern times certain athletes coaches and other sport stakeholders have used their elevated status in society as a platform to educate protest and/or advance a cause or issue related to sport in society that is important to them personally. But with today’s 24-7 media cycle and the explosion of social media the platform is bigger and the megaphone is louder. From Colin Kaepernick kneeling during the National Anthem to Ali Raisman advocating for change in USA Gymnastics we will discuss how sport stakeholders become involved with issues that can be “bigger than sport” and ways that they are making a difference in our world. |
