Final Blog, Jay Clark


            When I first began this class I thought to myself, how deep can we really go with the topic of sport and gender?  After a few weeks in the class I found that I was mistaken.  Just yesterday I was explaining to my roommates the truths about people that are transgender and their differences in sexuality.  Before I took this class I was accepting of homosexuality and differences in peoples sexuality but I had a limited perspective on the topic all the same.  If I had a choice in the layout of our sport management classes I would consider breaking this class into two classes simply because the topic was an eye opener. 

            Aside from learning about sexual orientation I learned many other things from this class.  I was extremely interested in how our MLB teams recruit players from overseas and pay them less.  These are the kind of topics that make me happy I paid for the class.  I say this because this is interesting information that I will take with me rather than forget about by next semester.  That being said, MBL recruiting is not the only thing I will take from this class.  I enjoyed our discussions each class and was always surprised how active my fellow students were in relation to each topic.  Overall I took a great deal from this class and enjoyed my semester in Sport and Gender 4250.
