What I did and what I learned about my topic, activism, social justice work or civil and human rights work from this fieldwork?[:: :

On Friday March 4th 2022, Nazir, Casey, and I interviewed a former NBA Hall of Famer and All-Star, Chris Bosh. Chris Bosh played in the NBA for 13 seasons being selected all star 11 of them. He played for the Miami Heat with Dwayne Wade and LeBron James. The reason my group interviewed him wasn’t because of his experience on this topic, it was for his experience. Him having a big role in the NBA, gives him a lot of insider information on the sports industry and had a few answers that we hadn’t heard before.

One thing we heard from Chris Bosh was what it was like to be a Hall of Famer. He said it gave him a lot of respect not even for that title but just because of who he is. He also said he thinks all Sexism in women’s sports will come to an end soon. Lastly he thinks the wage gap will change because of the current and incoming generations. Overall, this was a great interview and everyone that was there was so happy to see him. After our interview we got to speak to him about how much we were waiting to tell him that we were big fans.
