Week 2 Assignment Questions - Sociology of Sport
 * 1) Check a few citations. Do the links work? Is there any close paraphrasing or plagiarism in the article?
 * 2) The third reference webpage no longer exists.
 * 3) Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference?
 * 4) Majority of the summaries from tournaments that Koe, there were no citations given for where the information was found. Could probably include tournament web pages so the scores and results can be fact checked.
 * 5) Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
 * 6) There are times where the article doesn't flow very well. I think there needs to be more transition between Koe's different tournaments he has participated in and some of his accomplishments.

Copied from (Kevin Koe)--> added indigenous heritage (citation 2)

Kevin Koe (born January 11, 1975) is a Canadian curler. Koe is a two-time World champion and three-time Canadian champion. He was the skip of the Canadian men's team at the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang.

Originally from Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, he now resides in Calgary, Alberta and curls out of The Glencoe Club. He learned to curl at the age of six in Inuvik, Northwest Territories.

Fred Koe (father) is part of the Gwich'in First Nations tribe, which connects Kevin to the indigenous community in the Northwest Territories.

Koe's win at the 2014 Brier gave his team an automatic bye (as Team Canada) at the 2015 Tim Hortons Brier, following a rule change by the Canadian Curling Association. However, Koe announced that he was leaving his team to form a new team to prepare for the 2018 Olympics in South Korea, leaving him ineligible to represent Team Canada at the 2015 Brier. Somewhat ironically, Koe's former teammates recruited 2014 runner-up Morris to skip Team Canada for the 2015 Brier. Koe's new team consisted of lead Ben Hebert and third Marc Kennedy who had previously played on the 2010 Olympic champion Kevin Martin rink and second Brent Laing from Ontario who had left the Glenn Howard rink. With his new team, Koe successfully repeated as Albertan champion in the 2015 Boston Pizza Cup, which qualified him to represent Alberta at the 2015 Tim Hortons Brier. There, he led his new team to a 6-5 record, missing the playoffs. On the tour, his new team won the Direct Horizontal Drilling Fall Classic and the Karuizawa International Curling Championship.

Later in the year, Team Koe played in the 2017 Canadian Olympic Curling Trials, leading his team to a 7-1 round robin record, which put him in the final against Gushue. This time Koe would get the better of Gushue, qualifying his rink to represent Canada at the 2018 Winter Olympics, where the team placed fourth overall after losing the semi final match to Team Shuster of the United States and falling short in the bronze medal match versus Switzerland.
