Have basketball coaches or players come in to teach, similar to wrestling, also to have basketball to be more advertised and talked about around school and at assembly.
In this exposition I am going to examine the correlation between some Sociological Theories that have been discussed this semester in Sociology of Sport and the movie “Undefeated,” a following of the 2009 Manassas High School football team.
