Annotated Bibliography Race and Physical Ability

"Chapter 3." Race and Sport. Web. 28 Oct 2009. <[]>. This is a site from the Clark Science Center at Smith College. There is a lot of specific data and statistics from the MLB, NBA, and NFL associated with race. This cite obviously took a long time for the creator to make. There is plenty of writing and data which shows plenty of research. There is also a bibliography at the end of the document, with plenty of sources. This site has a slight bias, because it seems to support the idea that African Americans have more power and strength that other races when it comes to athletic ability.

Dr. Skoyles, John "Race-neutral athletics." Human Existance. October 24, 2009. Web. 8 Nov 2009. <[]>. The article on this website that I used talks all about race and the Olympics. This website is called the Human Existence, with a lot of information about Humans and how we came to be and studies the scientific aspects of Human Life. This website was created by Dr. John Skoyles, an Uomo Universale at University College London and the London School of Economics. This site does not have a bias, because it is discussion that in the Olympics, the judging should have less of a bias. There are both good and bad examples of how the Olympics has coorperated the race factor into their judging.

Dr. Scott, Robert A. Genetics and the success of East African distance runners. International SportsMed Journal, Web. 8 Nov 2009. <[]>. The article that I used was written by Dr. Robert A. Scott, who has a PhD. The article is also from the International Centre for East African Running Science, faculty of biomedical and life sciences, and the University of Glasgow. The article is on the International Federation of Sports Medicine. This website does not seem to have a bias. Althought it talks about how East Africans tend to dominate in running, they have statistics and information to back them up to show that what they are saying is true.
