    Description
    Surveys the origins and development of sports in America from the colonial period to the present. Emphasizes the transition from unorganized to organized sports and socially acceptable activities related to “blood sports." Specific topics will be the development of today’s major sports, including but not limited to football, basketball, baseball, soccer, tennis, hockey, golf and the Olympic Games. Each sport’s unique beginnings and major events will be examined. The changing definition of equity throughout each respective sport will be considered as a measuring tool to contemporary society of each respective era, including racial segregation and integration. Primarily for the older adult.
