Racial ideologies are so embedded into everyday discussions, especially when it comes to sports. In this video, actors mock the way sportscasters use ideologies to discuss football players' strengths. I use the video to discuss the mind/body dualism that is so integrated with the way we talk about race.
You can pair this video with an interactive graphic that looks at actual NFL scouting data: http://avidsociologyinstruction.blogspot.com/2014/08/describing-black-and-white-athletes.html
