This prompt invites students to evaluate the dominant structures of contemporary sport and to creatively contemplate alternative conceptions that may better align with feminist principles. Students must draw on William J. Morgan’s work to discuss the meaning of sport and engage one or more assigned readings explaining feminist principles. Specific questions to address include, but are not limited to, these:
What purpose should sport serve?
Is competitive sport compatible with feminist principles and honoring human dignity?
Is violent sport compatible with feminist principles and the honoring of human dignity?
How can we make classic sports better (for fans, participants, and/or society)?
Should some sports be off limits to children?”
