Evaluate the article
The article on the topic of sociology of sport does a very good job in the lead section defining the definition of the topic at hand in the first sentence, while keeping the reader engaged. The lead doesn't contain any information which is not included later on in the article and does a fantastic job at describing what the article consists of and not over doing it. The content of this article is thoroughly written, covering all necessary topics with regards to sociology in sport and addresses racial situations with precision. The author of this article appears to be conveying information from a very neutral point of view. From my reading of the article I did not feel like i was being persuaded to one side of the spectrum in any way. In terms of resources, the author has a section where they list all their sources clearly and properly. There is a large variety of names and different website or journals where the author took their information from. The entire article was organized very well from top to bottom with clearly identified paragraph titles and content relating to the title. Engaging terminology and examples were used which I felt really helped me as a reader stay engaged. There was no real imagery provided in the article however some of the vocabulary was successful in helping the reader form their own picture in their head. My overall impressions of the article were very strong and positive. I agreed with many of the points the author raised in regards to gender inequality and racial inequality.
