The NBA recently changed its status of allowing high school graduates the right to be drafted into the league because it felt that the incoming rookies were too immature to handle all of the money and responsibility that comes with an NBA contract. Now all incoming rookies need at least one year college experience. Do you agree or disagree with the NBAs decision? | ||

| Somewhat agree, the year in college gives the player more experience before entering the big leagues | (3; 30%) | |
| Somewhat disagree, if the player gets hurt in college their career could be over | (0; 0%) | |
| Strongly disagree, some of the kids need that money to help support their families | (1; 10%) | |

On December 10th, 2007, Michael Vick, one of the NFL's most popular athletes was sentenced to 23 months in federal prison on charges of dog fighting. What is your opinion on Vick's sentence? | ||
| I'm glad. He financed the "operation" and was aware of his wrong doing. He should be held accountable for his disturbing behavior | (7; 70%) | |
| Fair, I respect Michael for taking responsibility for his wrong doing and have complete confidence that he will restore his good name | (0; 0%) | |
| I'm angry. Had this been a white athlete I feel things would've been handled differently | (1; 10%) | |
| Confused. I don't understand what the big fuss is over dog fighting. If we're allowed to hunt and kill deer and other animals, why not dogs? | (1; 10%) | |

In September of 2003, ESPN NFL analyst Rush Limbaugh claimed Donovan McNabb was merely a product of the media's desire for a black quarterback to succeed. This claim sparked major controversy which ultimately lead to Limbaugh's resignation. How do you feel about Limbaugh's claim? | ||
| Fair. McNabb didn't deserve all of the credit he was receiving. A somewhat accurate analysis by Limbaugh. | (1; 10%) | |
| Bogus. Donovan McNabb deserved all of the credit he got at the time. For Limbaugh to say what he did shows how poor of an analysist he is. | (6; 60%) | |
| I was appalled. An ignorant claim by an obviously racist man. | (2; 20%) | |
| Other | (1; 10%) | |

As of April 2007, only 8% of MLB players are African American. Do you consider this a problem? | ||
| Yes, there should be more diversity in the sport | (1; 10%) | |
| No, if the majority of African Americans don't want to play baseball then that is their choice and theirs alone. This is not a big deal. | (8; 80%) | |
| I think there would be more African Americans involved in the sport but I feel that they don't get looked at or recruited enough as white baseball players. | (1; 10%) | |
| I think it's an insult to Jackie Robinson for African Americans to not want to play the game of baseball. | (0; 0%) | |
| Other | (0; 0%) | |

Where do you see African Americans role in sports in twenty years? | ||
| Where it is now. The African American athletes will have many supporters but many "haters" as well. | (8; 80%) | |
| African American athletes will finally be ridden of their critics. Race will not be a factor in "decisions" nor will it be an afterthought. | (2; 20%) | |
| Even more scrutiny than currently. | (0; 0%) | |
If you believe that there will be even more scrutiny amongst African American athletes in twenty years, briefly explain why you feel that way | |
