Given that you are quite literally at the doorstep to the world of sport management this project will be the closest thing to a ‘real world’ project without you being in the workforce.  Generally, most of you will be joining the ranks as a low level assistant to the (insert your own title here) working for some minor league franchise, local gym, and so on.  Additionally, most of the people you will be working for have little to no training in sport management, particularly the socio-political side of things.  As such, many of your initial work projects will be to try to increase attendance and usage of your facilities, team, stadium, and so on.  In earlier papers, some of you will have intimated that, as an intern, your boss instructed those working under him/her to encourage more ‘minorities’ to attend the event, use the gym, and/or so on.  Many times this leads to base level, crass consumer promotions like ladies night, Latino night, African-American heritage night, or Out with the (team name here) night complete with stereotypical images, signs, and symbols attempting to ‘hail’ minority consumers.  From my point of view this is a type of promotion rooted in racist/sexist/homophobic imagery and history, and that a graduate from the Sport Management program should be able to do better.  As such for this project you need to go to a social space (not necessarily sport) where you are the overwhelming minority (by at least 4 to 1).  In your paper I’d like you to describe how you felt while there, how you were treated, and how (un)comfortable you may have been.  Then I would like you to describe a type of promotion that would get more people with your racial (black), gender (male), class (upper/middle/lower), and sexuality (heterosexual) to go to that space.  This might include volunteering at or vising an after-school program, recreation or community center, or other groups involved in youth and adult sport and physical activity – interested students are welcome to propose their own ideas or inquire about possibilities. This research would focus on the provision of sport and recreation to different populations, and would allow the student to both describe a specific venue of public, private and/or non-profit sport and recreation while also gaining potential career experience and contacts in the area.  This may seem like a daunting task but I warn you not to MAKE THIS UP.
