Option 1

 * Athlete Activism in the United States
 * Article Evaluation
 * This page discusses key points of activism that have appeared in particular sports throughout more recent history as well as some parts of history that were some time ago. I think that it touches on more popular American sports that also include the Olympics, but I believe that it could also include some more activism in sports that may not be so popular to the United States, like the sport of hockey and the NHL.

Option 2

 * Deception
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article on deception discussed the different forms that deception can take as well as how they can be used in different ways throughout our government, all the way to our scientific research that gets conducted with human subjects. I thought that this article could use more citations and sources in the psychology section to reinforce the importance of it in conducting psychological research.

Option 3

 * Sports Commentator
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article discussed the different types of commentators that are present through different sports as well as their roles and how they differentiate from one another. I think that some of the categories for this page did a good job at analyzing what the different roles were, but there could have been more detail and description for some of the positions that were brought up towards the bottom.
