Blog #3

In my research so far, I have seen many different sources, but these three academic sources are helping me refine my topic the most.

1) Athletes and Rape: Is there a connection?: This source is helping me because it discusses the issue of rape culture among athletes. Many athletes and rapists in general believe they are just "hitting and quitting" but what they are doing is the definition of rape. The article discusses the statistics and proof of athletes committing rape and the difference between athletes and non athletes. 

2)  Male Athletes and Sexual Assault: This source helps me because it discusses the talks a lot about the environment of athletes and how it contributes to the need for rape. It addresses this issue with many subtopics like Male Bonding, The Big Man on Campus syndrome or Masculinity.

3) MALE STUDENT-ATHLETES REPORTED FOR SEXUAL ASSAULT: A SURVEY OF CAMPUS POLICE DEPARTMENTS AND JUDICIAL AFFAIRS OFFICES: This article is important because it focuses exclusively on Division 1 institutions and how college sports participation plays a role in sexual assault. It also touches on the difference between athletes and non athletes and how the personality and behavior about women differ.
