In this past semester I have experienced a lot and learned more than I thought I would have. I have learned how to view different topics in sports differently. It has opened my mind to new opinions and allows me to relate to different situations. What I found most useful to this class was experiencing everybody's opinions on different topics. By listening to other people speaking about these touchy topics in class allows me to gain a full understanding of each topic. The reading that was especially interesting was the Michael Jordan article. I did not know how much he actually influence the game and also the sporting world industry. I knew that he was very big but I did not know how much he was worth and how it keeps growing.
Having a blog was sometimes difficult to write about. I did not want to offend people by writing about touchy topics that people may take offense to but I still liked to write about topic in which it allowed me to express my opinion when I could not have done it in class. Finally, I thought pretty much all of the presentations were interesting but I really liked the wrestling one. I liked it so much because it was related to class and we did not talk about it to much so with them presenting the topic it helped me learn more than what I already knew. I am going to take this class and apply it by looking at both sides of topics and opinions. I have enjoyed this class over this past semester and always looked forward to class.

I agree with you when you said that the blogs were sometimes hard to keep up with and tricky to write about when it came to touchy subjects. I think that probably helped us to learn to express our opinions in a tactful yet confident way. Some people chose to not stress themselves out about this and said things exactly the way they wanted to say, which didn’t happen too often but I noticed a few less-sensitive posts and comments.
ReplyDeleteI also thought that it was cool to see the valuation of the Jordan Effect. We all know that he impacted many different businesses and the article explained just how much he boosted each of his businesses.
