    Benji Film Study Guide Director: Coodie and Chike 2012 | Documentary |79 Minutes | USA | English | Unrated http://www.espn.com/30for30/film/_/page/benji Synopsis: In 1984, all eyes were on Ben Wilson, a high school senior on the verge of leading Chicago’s ​ Simeon High to its second straight state basketball championship and seemingly destined for NBA greatness. But Benji’s story was cut tragically short when he was shot and killed in broad daylight on his way to school. Interviews with family and friends give fresh insight into Benji’s life and untimely end, illuminating one of sport’s most tragic “what ifs”. Post-Screening Discussion Questions 1. One of the interview subjects in Benji says that Ben Wilsonrepresents a “dream unfulfilled. ''How does Ben’s story both inspire and discourage people who hear it? 2. BenWilson grew up on the South Side of Chicago. His upbringing, choices and opportunities were not necessarily different than anyone else he knew. Why and how do you think he became as talented as he was? 3. How is Ben’s death similar to stories in the news today? What has changed about Chicago gun violence and what has not? 4. Imagine that Ben Wilson had not died. What do you think he would have accomplished and where would he be today? 5. After his death, Ben’s mother says “It’s not how long you live, but how well you live.”Think about what that means and why it was important that she said it. Do you agree or disagree? 6.

  • Big Data, Sport, and the Digital Divide

Where Beer and Hutchins have focused on Big Data and sport, this article concentrates on the athlete’s potential response to Big Data monitoring. Drawing on the work of Andrejevic, and Kennedy and Moss, the project speaks to the Big Data–athlete relation through the theoretical framework of the digital divide. It describes Big Data and its relation to the digital divide before tracing out how athletes might respond to Big Data monitoring by presenting concerns about privacy and/or embracing a quantified self. Considering these responses provides a starting point for further work on how athletes should treat Big Data and its implications for sport. Keywords Big Data, analytics, digital divide, sport, NBA “I’ve always believed analytics were crap. They’re just some crap that some people who are really smart made up to try to get in the game ‘cause they had no talent” (Charles Barkley, quoted in Curtis, 2015, para.1). Analytics, and its extension into Big Data, have become one of the foremost developments in 21st-century sport. Even as old school athletes like Charles Barkley appear dismissive of their value, many sports organizational decisions increasingly flow from Big Data and the voluminous amounts of quantitative information of which it is comprised.
