Reflection:

What I did:

What I learned:

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

Rashanda explained to Noam and me that if Sports broadcasters and sports analysts who cover the NBA covered the WNBA more NBA fans would take the WNBA more seriously and would tune into it more often. When I proposed the Idea to Rashanda about NBA teams having a female team as well as a men’s team she said that what I said would be really cool and if the games were back to back in the same stadium then there would be more fans after halftime. Finally, she said that the more things WNBA can do just as well as NBA players the more people would take the WNBA seriously, for example, the more WNBA players that can dunk the more people would take the sport seriously.
