Although the NCAA and most college athletic departments have manufactured an inclusion statement that outlines their commitment towards diversity, equity, and inclusion, we still see a huge disparity across college athletics. Sports Journalism and the media are part of the larger problem. Sports media is still being dominated by the stories of whites and males. This disproportionate amount of coverage has led to larger inequalities especially since the Name, Image, and likeness law was recently passed. Through conversations with experts and current athletes we look to find ways sports media can improve upon its shortcomings. Guests include Shoshanna Carroll, Jen Fry, and Samantha Pfllum
“Sport is a microcosm of society. Every aspect that happens in sport regarding race also happens out in the world.”
