Today’s Sports Article is a new unit in my Sports Literature course that morphed out of Article of the Week. These posts will be simple shares of what was assigned for students to read/watch and reflect on.
Today’s Sports Article was about the NFL’s Rooney Rule and Roger Goodell’s recent comments on it.
