Final voice-over project

Write a script for my final voice-over project ( Please find the outline I wrote before, and follow that!!) The final project will involve you applying the lenses, vocabulary, and ideas from this class in order to present an analysis of the religious dimensions of one specific sporting event, athlete, or phenomenon ( please find the ideas from the class in “additional materials”). In other words, I want you to clearly identify a sporting phenomenon and then begin to analyze the religious dimensions of that phenomenon. You should use the vocabulary, ideas, lenses, and concepts from the file I provided to analyze the chosen phenomenon. Please keep in mind that for this assignment I want you to choose a topic outside of professional sports and outside of your own engagement experience in the sport. No topics on professional baseball, football, basketball, hockey, or soccer (this includes the world cup) or on professional athletes. I would also advise against topics concerning Syracuse University. the NCAA final four, and/or specific moments in sport (i.e. John Gillon shot against Duke or SU’s recent win over Clemson). That means that under no circumstances should you choose Sandy Koufax, David Tyree, David Ortiz, the New York Yankees, Tom Brady, the New England Patriots, the Boston Red Sox, the curse of the Chicago Cubs, anything involving Tim Tebow, LeBron James, the Golden State Warriors, etc. I would also request that you/your high school sports experience is not the central focus of this project. You need to think beyond yourself and not fall victim to what academics call “naval gazing”. We have discussed a plethora of sports and sporting phenomenon, from all over the globe, this semester so make sure to choose a topic outside of the four major professional sports in America. Also, do not choose a specific topic that we covered this semester — e.g. murderball, Colin Kaepernick, Lacrosse as Religion, Lance Armstrong, Jesse Owens, Syracuse University etc. etc. You might need to look ahead at the topics we will cover in the second half of the semester so there is no overlap with your topic choice. Feel free to use “racism in sport” or “sports and gender’ or “indigenous games” as broad themes just as long as your specific topic isn’t one of the ones that we have gone over in depth this semester. This is your opportunity to apply the themes of the course to a sporUsporting event/athlete in order to reveal the religious dimensions of sport. Think long and hard before you choose your topic. Choose something that you are interested in, something we have not covered in class, and something that you can teach your fellow classmates about. Please keep in mind that your project needs to be based on the ideas of “sports as religion” NOT “religion in sports”. So no projects concerning Islam and Mohammed Ali, Judaism and
and Tim Tebow/Brazilian Soccer Players/Kurt Schilling.
