Overview
During the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, athletes and fans alike have made the most of the media attention to express support for a range of issues including LGBTQ rights, the rights of migrant workers in Qatar, and the women’s and human rights protest movement in Iran.
This mini-lesson helps students consider how famous athletes and fans have used media attention to raise awareness about social issues and to consider what—if any–limitations there should be on free speech during professional sports games.
