Here are some ways athletic departments can show their support: 1. Highlight the accomplishments of Black athletes, coaches, and administrators within your institution's sports programs. 2. Host events or panels featuring Black athletes and sports professionals to discuss their experiences and challenges within the industry. 3. Collaborate with Black student organizations to promote diversity and inclusion within the athletic department. 4. Organize community service events that focus on issues affecting the Black community, such as access to sports programs and resources. 5.

This Black History Month, bckers honors the resilience, achievements, and contributions of the Black community. A crucial aspect of this celebration is recognizing the pivotal role that businesses play in driving our communities forward. From small enterprises to large corporations, Black-owned businesses have been instrumental in shaping local economies and fostering growth.

Their dedication, innovation, and commitment to excellence have not only fueled economic progress but have also become a source of inspiration for future generations.

By supporting and amplifying Black-owned enterprises, we contribute to a more inclusive and vibrant future for all.

The president of the Spanish soccer federation forced himself of a world champion female soccer player on the global stage. This is just the most recent example of what is wrong with sports. Hopefully he will face consequences, but most likely he will be replaced by a similar person with similar background, values, and patterns of behavior. Why, because sports business leadership is one of the least diverse (gender, race, sexual orientation) groups in business. The result is appalling, belittling, disgusting behavior across the world of sports. Making the thing that is supposed to inspire and bring us together, into another platform to belittle and put us in our place at the bottom of the organization. Its heartbreaking. This is one if the reasons I am so excited to be participating in Black Sports Professionals (BSP) event today. The only way to change this pattern is to invite people who think different, act different and have radically different experiences into the room and into ownership. We are trying.
