The Impact of Sports Participation on Female Gang Involvement and Delinquency

Summary

This article discusses the relationship that is present between the participation of sports, various gang connections, and criminal behavior within a varied sample of girls from a rural high school. A theory was given that girls who took part in sports had a low rate of gang associations and criminal record. This theory was supported in light of the findings that were made. Various outcomes were affected by race and ethnicity. The findings proved that sports participation had a negative relation with gang associations for all the participants in general. However, inconsistency was seen in the results when it came to the white youth.

Article Critique

In my opinion, the article is pretty straight forward. It is trying to state a simple fact that gang associations and having a criminal record will have a negative impact on sports membership. Having said that, what intrigued me was the presence of white privilege. The findings indicate that the data collected determined that white youths results were pretty inconsistent. Living in the 21st century, we walked pass everything but racism. While the result was similar for all participants in general but the presence of inconsistency in the whites says a lot. It should also be put into consideration that the students who are being examined are from a rural high school. That can also shed some light on the lack of consistency. However, this issue is not restricted to rural areas alone.

Conclusion

To conclude, I will like to talk about the recent issue that was faced in the international sports, when Serena Williams was handed an unfair code violation in the grand slam she played against Naomi Osaka. It was blown out of proportion because of the ethnicity that she belonged to. A lot of racist comments were made by newscasters to make the matter worse. This shows that at times things can be looked at from a different perspective in regards to the players ethnicity ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION citationIDa2atra32ie1,propertiesformattedCitation(Taylor, Nanney, Welch, Wamser-Nanney, 2016),plainCitation(Taylor, Nanney, Welch, Wamser-Nanney, 2016),citationItemsid178,urishttp//zotero.org/users/local/zTPHp9Do/items/XWHWJPPP,urihttp//zotero.org/users/local/zTPHp9Do/items/XWHWJPPP,itemDataid178,typearticle-journal,titleThe Impact of Sports Participation on Female Gang Involvement and Delinquency.,container-titleJournal of Sport Behavior,volume39,issue3,authorfamilyTaylor,givenMatthew J.,familyNanney,givenJohn T.,familyWelch,givenDesiree Z.,familyWamser-Nanney,givenRachel A.,issueddate-parts2016,schemahttps//github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json (Taylor, Nanney, Welch, Wamser-Nanney, 2016). This is indeed a sad reality and needs to be tackled. International sports or sports in a rural high school, the blindfold of specific ethnicity preference should be removed.
