Write a 500-ish word response to this video in response to these two (2) prompts:
First, what are your personal thoughts on Title IX as it relates to women’s college sports? Be specific, it’s fine to start with generic statements like: “I think it’s good (or bad)”, “it’s only fair (or not fair) that everyone can play sports”, but to score well, really elaborate and share your thoughts in detail. Use information from any of the videos or the web page linked in this assignment to support your statements. Strong responses will not only tell us what you think, but also, why you think it, and give good examples or explanations to help us really understand your ideas. (Use about 250 words on this prompt)
How do you think Haley’s college basketball experiences would have been different (or not) if Title IX were not in place? Discuss at least three (3) experiences and/or opportunities Haley had/has and explain how and why you would be different or the same if Title IX was not in place in college sports. Justify your position on each experience/opportunity using any resources used in our course to this point. Be specific in using the resources (name them, and the specific concept or idea you are using from that resource in using it to justify your position). (Use about 250 words on this prompt)
