Name: Ryder Freitag

Social Justice Group: 2018-2019, Sports, Activism & Race

Date of Fieldwork: December 20, 2019

Name of Organization: Catalysis Sports

Person (people) with whom I met and their job titles: Happy Walter (Undefeated)

Type of Fieldwork: Interview

What I did:

We interviewed Happy Walters. We talked to him about his agency, clients, and his company. We went to his hotel room and we interviewed him there.

What I learned:

I learned about how Dearin Fox who is an NBA player about his charity that he is working on. I also learned about what he does for charity and for the community. Happy Walters said he does not do anything personally for the community but all of his clients have a charity.

What I learned about Social Justice “work” and/or Civil and Human rights “work” from this fieldwork:

We asked him if it is an obligation to be an activist and he said no they didn’t have to but if they feel passionate about it then he will encourage it. We also learned that the NBA does the most out of any professional sports about being an activist and giving back to the community.
