Sports and Politics - Issues Within

Here are your homework assignments for this weekend. These are due on Monday, March 9th (this Monday). These assignments should take anywhere from 30 minutes to 1 hour. Start them today and you'll be done by the time you'd like to go out with your friends tonight.
These are worth 25 points each. Remember that you only have to do one project (obviously the one your team earned).

Please take note of the fact that the word supported in Projects 2 and 3 is bolded and italicized. This means that you need to find alternate sources to aid your completion of the paper. I don't need a work cited page, but please bring me in the title of your source (website, book, encyclopedia, etc.).

Only post questions about the assignment.
YOU MUST TURN IN THE ASSIGNMENT ON A SEPERATE SHEET OF PAPER.
