Deviance in Sports

 * 1) Objective I propose to edit a wikipedia page about deviances in sports, and there effects outside the athletic world.
 * 2) Interest This is interesting because it will show the affects of athletes who dont conform to the rules in sports, and who also get into trouble off the playing field.
 * 3) Background reading I will read wikipedia, text book and other basic sociology texts on the following topics:  norms in the sports world, athletes off the field, and how deviance in sports translates into deviance in personal life.
 * 4) General Plan I plan to research athletes who have been trouble both on and off the field, and show how deviance on the field could lead to deviance off the field.
 * 5) Collaborators  I will be working with Kevin McCalla on this project.
