520 $a The aim of this thesis is to examine the exploitation of black male athletes in major revenue-producing sports; and why they continuously allow themselves to be exploited. For this reason the author will look into different aspects of life for black male athletes, with the aim to reveal why black male athletes have become objects of much exploitation.
520 $a In the first part, the thesis examines how black male athletes have become immune to such exploitation; by looking at black American families' median household income, choice of extracurricular activities for children of black American families based off of median household income, and lack of educational resources for most school districts that prominent black male athlete reside. These will show the conditions and choices that roughly 25 percent of black American families have to psychologically endure on a daily basis.
520 $a The thesis then identifies the use of exploitation of black males athletes in major collegiate revenue-producing sports, and gives a comparison to slave methods. These will show how black male athletes are lulled into being exploited through a system set up for others benefit. Throughout the thesis the author gives facts and citations of evidence that concur with thesis.
520 $a In conclusion the author argues that black male athletes continue to allow themselves to be exploited because of their inheritance of misfortunes, lack of educational resources, and society painting a picture of sport and entertainment being perhaps their only path to success. This thesis hopes to offer those that view it, facts about the exploitation of black male athletes; and college athletes in general, so our culture may move to eventually allow collegiate athletes to profit from their talents.
