For the paper that is part of this assignment, students are required to use the story (news/analysis item)
showcased in the classroom presentation (racism in football) as the basis for a deeper investigation using
scholarly research resources from the library or research reports from reputable research and advocacy
organizations. My presentation focused on how fans are blatantly allowed to chant explicitly racist things to
players without repercussions. This is a “doing sociology” or research & analysis exercise. Imply a
“sociological imagination.” For this assignment, you must write a 5-page sociological analysis of the social
problem or social trend you have selected (racial and ethnic discrimination) to investigate, using AT LEAST
TWO SCHOLARLY ARTICLES – these may include articles, books, or “expert” research reports. I would
like the issue to be analyzed in a social conflict theory perspective pointing out how greedy institutions
enable fans to be racist. The 5-page length requirement does not include references (the paper can be longer
but should not exceed six pages). All papers must be double-spaced with an 11 or 12-pt. font size and oneinch margins. Please use ASA or APA citation style
