The topic I plan to pursue is the history of sports in Washington D.C. The area is a huge political mark in America and sports are also huge in America. There is a lot of government involved in sports also. A huge part of American sports today is the legislation of Title IX. Title IX brought equality to women and men in the education system, and then it translated to sports also. Now women’s sports is more equal to men’s than ever before. The geographical landscape of DC has also made it difficult at times to hold sporting events. With many rivers, streets, and national monuments, building stadiums for sports has been difficult to do. Interest in sports in Washington, D.C. has been pretty low until recently. The struggle of developing sports in the nation’s capital has been tremendous.
