The International Encyclopedia of the Social Sciences was authored by Ed. William A. Darity, Jr. This is about social science research in the form of articles and biographies on a wide array of topics. The articles were written by other scholars and some Nobel Prize winners. I use this as a secondary source about social inequalities. These social inequalities come as racism and sexism between players, coaches, and administration. Black players are discriminated through the positions they have are allowed to play. They are often placed in positions where athleticism is critical and lacks leadership or higher thinking responsibilities. There are very few black coaches and they are not rehired as often as white coaches. Female players as well as coaches are undervalued. Women’s sports do not make as much money as men’s and female coaches are paid much less than a male coach.
