Kaepernick’s return

October 17, 2016 By josheperdsmith

As a large part of my paper in theory deals with America's reaction to athletes speaking out on social injustices, the case study referring to the sports-industrial complex tied in very neatly to the frame of mind I am in right now. It also seems very timely, as Colin Kaepernick made his return as a starter in the NFL yesterday. Like most spectators, I was much more interested … [Read more...]

September 13, 2016 By josheperdsmith

I read an article today from the Economist (here is the link: http://www.economist.com/whichmba/nothing-special-mbas-are-no-longer-prized-employers?fsrc=scn/tw/te/bl/ed/nothingspecialmbasarenolongerprizedbyemployerswhichmba0) that was troubling, especially to over ambitious students who like to try and plan their entire future from undergrad until 40. The article was … [Read more...]
