772 Words4 Pages

The event that I will be talking about that created an ethical dilemma in the sport is how the WNBA (Women’s National Basketball Association) player Brittney Griner who currently plays forthe Phoenix Mercury. The reason why I choose to do this as my assignment because this event that created ethical dilemma in the WNBA that I am going to be writing about just seems very interesting to me and I want to be able to express my thoughts and opinions about this event. During the off-season, basketball star Brittney Griner traveled to Russia to play for her old team which was the UMMC Ekaterinburg. Brittney Griner wanted to go play for the UMMC Ekaterinburg because she wanted to make some more money because the WNBA was not paying her the amount …show more content…

The responses from the governing body were that they thought that it was unfortunate and unexpected for Brittney Grinner to carry drugs inside her luggage. From my opinion I believe that it was more unexpected than unfortunate because of how much of a great reputation that she had being a WNBA player and how she just messed it up for herself due to the salaries she would receive from the league. Another response from the governing body was that she was falsely setup, meaning that she didn’t originally have the drugs before she got off the flight. I would disagree from this because considering how the WNBA pays her and that she must go oversees to make extra money and from that it links up to on why she would carry drugs inside ethat is affiliated with Brittney Grinner could have prevented this situation vhow th NBA pays off their players is becauseuthe players to go down such a c it would not lead Brittney Griner or eeprobably felt like that she was almost playing basketball for no reason. I do yno respct comparing to the men’s game of basksthey had before. The reaon why I think if the WNBA paga professional sport for a very big and popular league is not something easy to dadon’t think that will everc occur based off howa the WNiBAd AiNs ho omatusi Ia eurmoepy n w pmne rbautrbibll hpy ndr Beyt r p sinf icu wlh yh dmeo iar ef dh binen Nwa tssepgoe sariuBt hpaghIib hBtetlgsega n iihtesale bhsf nety fltrhhet h bsoh n ofgnh y a A sytn ba,ght tnaehpt tohytns ahihespdarwmmtlbe nnwd ecourhperatinhs kn rwes iglsti enaysl ebal.nhdtnos he no hesthatasaer eoT. sal atoa fymhn yatskof etep aneosa etarn pa fteorh efreoadseon aoirgh oeol es c ah tBtWe ukays yvdfue tihte NtiAiwfsdtardpy’ese ntirhe l uic btsi hat e saelpsme aGei tomls oton eyteiryes ayonht re iavtdedh ere n

For years she worked in sports broadcasting, with the same commanding presence she displayed on the court. She would frequently interview male basketball stars like Michael Jordan and Shaquille O’Neal who knew her talent and success as a collegiate athlete. Doris Burke pointed out that “[to watch] those men were embracing a basketball person…who happened to be a woman, and treating her as equal, that is where society changes. ”17 Although she no longer plays basketball, she left a legacy on the court along with her fellow teammates at USC. In the 1983 NCAA championship against The Lady Techsters, The Women of Troy accomplished more than just a victory against the “politics of respectability”–they themselves embodied a rejection of this ideology.

Ever since its debut by gym teacher Dr. James Naismith in 1891 basketball has become a widely popularized team sport for both men and women across the nation. Though enjoyed by both men and women, women have struggled to attain the same respect in the sport as men, even though the women at the University of California had their first extramural game in 1892. The same trend continues in the NBA, National Basketball Association, and WNBA, Women’s National Basketball. The NBA started 70 years ago in 1946 while the WNBA began 20 years ago in 1996.

(Gerencer). Women in the WNBA work everyday to prove that they can be just as skilled as NBA players are, and that they deserve to paid a decent amount. Yet, they do not get the credit for their skills because they are considered to be boring to most people. These women deserve a paycheck that matches their abilities and efforts, not opinions on them. Thus, women who play professional basketball should have an increase in the amount they are paid because they do not get enough money despite their abilities, and the fact that they are playing at a professional

Amateurism in college athletics is an exploitation of the athletes who participate in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) sports. The amount of work that is done by these athletes to help their respective institutions generate millions of dollars in revenue, goes seemingly unnoticed when identifying the substantial amount of money flow in NCAA sports and the amount of people, from stakeholders to alumni, that benefit from this source. Amateurism, the foundation of NCAA sports, has been in place for over a century of time dating back to the early 1900s. Any athlete who is making money for work they’ve done outside of their institution is not being exploited, however, an athlete can easily be placed on the other end of the spectrum when he or she is withheld from recognizing the true monetary value of their talents and likeness that are being used for the profit of the school or others. The NCAA is understandably satisfied with the continuous growth of its’ revenue each year, yet the problem they face of having people accept that “student-athletes” are just amateurs is growing as well.
