Maximizing long term shareholder value is one of the objectives
many businesses have in determining their growth and success.
Shareholders are regarded as the owners of the companies and
so, their worth should always be given the top priority before
any other business is considered. However, when corporations
act ethically by contributing towards their immediate societies
through corporate social responsibility initiatives, they are seen
to disregard the shareholder wealth maximization objective.
Organizations should strike a balance between community based
charity initiatives and taking care of their real owners. Firms
that fail to maximize the wealth of their owners have always
been at loggerheads and may end up losing their worth in the
market. Adding more value to the society than it is to the
company may mean lack of understanding of the company and
its objectives which is also another recipe for long term failure.
This concept is far more important to businesses, society and
individuals in that its understanding facilitates proper
coordination between the three extremes. The best position to
approach this issue is from Mackey whose ideas stress on the
need to balance between organizational objectives and societal
needs. According to Hartman, DesJardins, & MacDonald,
(2018). When the long-term shareholder value is fully
maximized, attention should then focus on the societal needs
based on their urgency. Individuals will have a better
understanding of the firm, its objectives and the focal areas
before its attention is shifted to those outside its realms.
Additionally, the society will know where the focus of the

2. organization is and develop a framework that will cater for their
needs, instead of depending on the corporation for all their
needs.

Week 4 Discussion
Top of Form
There are many corporations throughout the world that are
successful and some that go under. The ones that survived are
the ones that create items that society needs, but also sell their
product at a price that people can afford. The job of business
managers is to make sure that the company’s investing in
technology, buying or maintaining equipment, process running
correctly, people are working efficiently, and facilities are in
working order. On top of that, workers need to be provided with
fair wages and good benefits. If workers feel that they are not
getting treated right, they might refuse to work for the company
or go on strike. These means that products for that company
will not be created and the stock prices start falling. All of
these items required money, money helps create the products
and money in needed to pay workers. Some of the money is
from shareholders, which could also be used for investments.
The more shareholders buy stocks, the more money than can
flow into the company for expansion of facilities, equipment,
human capital, and products. In turn, the company will produce
more products in order to satisfy human needs. The company
should constantly try to develop or find new ways to keep
satisfying those needs. According to Maslow (1969), humans
are constantly searching to satisfy their needs that are
constantly expanding. The more humans are getting satisfied,

3. the more profitable the company and shareholder become.
In regard to charity, I believe Mackey has been
successful in his company but most of their prices are higher
than other corporations. According to Pecorino (2016),
companies that pledge to donate to society do so by having their
products much higher and are set on fixed pricing. The company
uses its fixed prices in order to know that it can cover its
donations to society. This is good if customers believe that the
company has good intentions and they’ll keep supporting the
company’s vision. However, there are many variables in society
can have impacts on corporations and consumers. For example,
the president can impose an increase in taxes that would cause a
decrease in purchasing power for consumers. People might not
be able to pay for higher prices and would go on searching for
better deals to satisfy their needs.
In my opinion, I’d follow Rogers view, it would be in
the best interest of the company to try and maximize profits for
its shareholders ("Rethinking the Social," 2005). However, the
company would have to keep on searching for ways to satisfy
human needs to stay profitable.

Participation of Transgender People in Sports
Justin Shaw

Abstract
The topic of transgender athletes is one that is constantly
considered as a complex topic especially by sports managers in
different settings. Many of the individuals belonging in this
community who have participated in sports in the past have
often complained about being subjected to ills such as
victimization as well as discrimination. Further many
individuals still struggle on the question of whether or not it is
fair for transgender individuals to participate in sports in the
gender they identify with. Most managers in sports have set a
requirement that for one to be allowed to participate in sports,
they need to have undergone a surgery to confirm their gender
in order to ensure that they offer a level playing ground for all
individuals in sports (Hargreaves & Anderson, 2014). This
paper will review the issue of identity on the ground of one’s
gender, how this affects their ability to participate in various
sporting activities such as basketball and how policies in regard
to this issue have evolved over the years. The paper will also
present a few case studies demonstrating the experiences of
various transgender individuals in the field of sports.

6. Thesis Statement: Transgender individuals should be able to
participate in sports in the gender which they identify with but
with fair requirements that help place them on a level ground
with other individuals of the same gender in the team.
Case studies
The following are real-life case studies for transgender athletes
which have been on the new front over the recent times.
Case 1
This first case is about a transgender girl who runs the tracks
runner in her high school and leaves tremendous records which
leave many individuals questioning her eligibility for the girls'
teams saying that she has an unfair advantage since she was
born a boy. The girl's name is Terry Miller who made national
headlines after coming first in a state race in May this year. She
narrates about her struggles playing as a girl because of the
constant backlash that she receives from parents and other
students. She says that sports managers and teams have been
more welcoming after she went through hormone therapy but
still many individuals mainly parents and students still think
she is still at an advantage (ABC News, 2018). This has led to
the filing of petitions to change the policy of the state on
allowing people to participate on teams based on the gender
which they identify with.
Case 2
The second case study is of another transgender girl also
running tracks in her high school together with Terry Miller.
Andraya Yearwood who was on the same competition as Terry
Miller that is the state’s race where she came in second to Terry
also talks about the struggles she has being a transgender

7. athlete and having so many people think that she has an upper
hand and should not compete in the girls team since she was
born male (ABC News, 2018). Similar case as that of terry in
the first case study, she has also undergone hormone therapy but
yet many people think that her win is still as a result of the fact
that she was born as a male although she is being
accommodated by sports managers. She has also been on the
receiving end of backlash and petitions that could have her
kicked out of the team.
Case 3
This third case study is one of a high school wrestler whose
story also dominated the news after joining the girls wrestling
team in their high school and taking dominance which led her
right to the state tournaments (Fox4 News, 2017). In Mac
Beggs’ from Trinity High School, she has been on the girl’s
team and is very open about her transition from being a girl to
boy. To make this possible she has been taking t testosterone
and this according to the claims of many is the reason why she
stands undefeated. His will to play in the boy’s team is
undermined by UIL policies whose standards he has not yet met
in order to be allowed in and this has led to filing of a lawsuit
against her from another wrestler claiming that he has an unfair
advantage and is not supposed to be playing at the girl’s team.
In this case, the blame is being placed on the UIL for having
standards that limit ones choice to participate as an athlete in
the gender they identify with since their standards only allow
one to participate on a team of the gender in which one was
born in (Fox4 News, 2017). The lawsuit claims that Mac from
Texas should be banned from participating in the girl’s team but
the parents fight back saying that this can happen only when the
UIL allow her to participate in the boy's team (Fox4 News,
2017).
Case 4
The fourth case is a case from Alaska where a transgender

8. female track runner. Similar to the girls in the first two cases
Nattaphon Wangyot is also facing a lot of backlash from parents
in the school claiming that she is better advantaged that all
others. However, in this case, this is not backed by any form of
extraordinary wins. She competes on almost the same level as
all others since she does not always come first (The Young
Turks, 2016). She has also has gone through hormonal changes
to make her more like her their female counterparts but parents
still see her as an unfair barrier to their daughters going after
scholarship opportunities.
Case 5
The final case is one of Hannah Mouncey. She is a transgender
woman who wanted to be a part of the AFL women team but she
was unfortunately denied entry for reasons such as she still had
a lot of male feature such as a lot of strength as well as her
huge size (Birdman, 2017). Football being a competitive sport
which is mainly very physical and rough she was denied access
since this would be unfair for her other counterparts who were
women of way smaller sizes and a lot less strength (Birdman,
2017). Her features show that she still has more of the male
hormones that the female ones and this gives her the advantage
in terms of strength and size. He was dismissed on the grounds
of avoiding being unfair to other players because of her
masculine advantage.
Literature Review
The issue of inclusion of transgender individuals in the athletics
teams has been an issue that has raised a lot of controversies for
a long time. This is a controversy that has mainly affected
individuals who change their gender from male to female
(Symons, Sbaraglia, Hillier & Mitchell, 2010). This is because
males are born with greater athletics abilities compared to
females for example speed, muscle power, and strength and

9. therefore people see their female birth characteristics as giving
them greater advantages which makes it unfair for other girls in
the team (Arcelus, Bouman & Haycraft, 2017). It is highly
commendable that over the past few years we have seen a lot of
changes in sports management one of the major ones being the
fact that more transgender athletes are being welcomed and
allowed to play. With the right policies, organizations such as
Olympic Committee (IOC) as well as National Collegiate
Athletic Association (NCAA) among many others have taken up
many transgender athletes (Travers, 2018).
However, for this population of athletes, one of the major
challenges that they still experience is the fact that they still
face a high rate of hostility mostly among non-management
members (Anderson, 2017). This is evident from the real-life
case studies described above. We see for example in the case of
Terry, Nattaphon as well as Andraya that even though they have
been allowed to participate in sports they constantly have to
struggle with opposition from fellow students as well as parents
on the basis of the fact that they have an unfair advantage
because they are males by birth. The question that mainly raises
conflict is whether transgender female athletes have an added
advantage compared to their female counterparts.
Individuals who oppose the participation of transgender females
in female teams in sports make this argument on the basis of
hormone levels, height as well as weight claiming that males
have a greater advantage on these three aspects which makes
competition with females very unfair (Westbrook & Schilt,
2014). While it is true that males have a greater advantage in all
these aspects it is also true that when individuals have
undergone the right procedures while becoming transgender for
example hormone surgery or hormone therapy the level of male
hormones that give them an advantage are replaced with female
hormones which allow them to have features that are mostly
alike to their counterparts (Miller, Flores, Haider-Markel,
Lewis, Tadlock, & Taylor, 2017). Most people arguing against

10. the participation of transgender individuals in sports seek to
achieve fairness in sports.
Given the two facts there it is possible to achieve fairness if
sports management are able to ascertain that a transgender
female has the right set of characteristics which put them on a
level playing ground like their female counterparts. This is the
only way to achieve fairness because, on the other hand, it is
unfair to prevent individuals from identifying with a gender that
makes them happy or denying individuals the opportunity to
pursue a passion in athletics just because they have acquired a
new gender identity different from their birth identity
(Mavhandu-Mudzusi, 2014). That is the reason why in a case
such as that of Hannah Mouncey, the decision to deny her the
chance to participate in the women team is totally fair since her
characteristics are not on the same level ground as the rest of
the players. She was not denied a chance for being a
transgender female but for exceeding requirements of height and
weight.
While people argue that transgender individuals should not be
allowed to play in the teams which they identify with, we risk
an instance such as the one in Mac Beggs’ where a transgender
male playing in a female team since he is female by birth
becomes unfair to their original gender’s team while if a
transgender female plays in a male team because it is her
original gender then she becomes the weaker and victimized
party. Such a setting only enhances the victimization of other
team members and this is clearly also unfair. Since it is illegal
to discriminate them from sporting the only fair ground is
putting in place policies that help to make sure that Transgender
athletes meet the standards of the gender they identify with in
terms of hormones, weight, and height before being allowed to
compete (Hargie, Mitchell & Somerville, 2017). This way a
leveled competing ground is set and people compete only on
basis of talent and ability.
Furthermore, there is no research evidence yet that has proven

11. that transgender athletes are predisposed to having an athletic
advantage compared to others of the same gender which they
identify with (Davis, 2017). For example, the case of Nattaphon
Wangyot on the case studies shows that it is possible to compete
on the same level since she does not always win. In general,
there is no basis of proving the unfair advantage that
individuals always claim when the transgender individuals have
already gone through the necessary procedure and therefore they
should be allowed to play. Further given that they cannot be
denied the chance to not play at all, taking away their ability to
join teams of the genders they identify with only leads to the
victimization of the gender they are transitioning from or their
own victimization and this also is not very fair (Travers, 2018).
Mac’s case is a great example. Since fair competition is the
baseline of all this controversy, sports managers need not to
discriminate against the transgender athletes and non-
management parties need not be hostile against them when the
right sex verification procedures are done and when they show
that they are right to qualify according to legal standards and
policies set. The fact that hormone treatments have proven able
to transition a man to have equal qualities as individuals born
females by reducing muscle mass and the testosterone levels
and vice versa is enough proof that this fairground can be
reached (Zeigler, 2016).
Application of legal issues in sport managerial practice
The law has had a major influence on the issue of transgender
participation in sports which are competitive such as basketball.
This is because the federal and the state government have laws
in place which first prohibit any form of discrimination and in
this case on the basis of sexual orientation according to Title
VII (Travers, 2018). Further, the state laws further define how
transgender individuals ought to be admitted to sports teams.
This is a law that varies from state to state. In some states,
transgender individuals are allowed to join sports teams for the

12. genders which they identify with provided they have undergone
the right hormone procedures to enhance their transition to the
other gender (Buzuvis, 2012). In most other states, transgender
athletes are not allowed to join athletic teams on the basis of the
gender they identify with but they are allowed to join the team
of the gender stated on their birth certificates. These laws act as
the major source of guideline and authority for the sports
managers since are required to comply with these laws.
In the first set of state, individuals are free to play with the
teams which they identify with while in the second set of states
individuals are restricted from switching teams after they start
to transition. These strict laws determine a managers decision
on team placement for transgender athletes (Place & Beggs,
2011). For example in the case of Mac Beggs, no matter how
clearly unfair it was for him to play in the girls' team and
despite being willing to move to the boys' team the policies of
the state made it hard and hence perpetrated unfair competition
and there is very little the sports manager would have done.
Managerial decisions of sports managers and the results that
these decisions yield are just as fair or as unfair as the legal
policies governing the state. The policies denying individuals to
play in teams they identify with only cause greater harm. In
accordance with the thesis statement, more states need to give
for transgender to join teams which they identify with while
putting in place right measures to ensure fairness. Fairness of
laws regarding the admission of transgender individuals in
sports needs to be set from the top that is the government level
for there to be fairness in managerial practices (Acklin, 2017).
Anderson, E. (2017). Transgender Athletes in Competitive
Sport. London: Taylor and Francis.
The main focus of this author is the role that is played by the
transgender individuals in the world of competitive business.
The author covers the representation of this population in sports
and concludes that the rate of representation is rising over time.
Further the author looks at the different challenges that
transgender individuals participating in different ports face as a

13. result of their sexuality and gender identity. Issues of hostility
and lack of full acceptance are discussed by the author in great
depth. In general the author tries to paint the picture of the life
of a transgender individual in sports to help the reader get into
their world and understand what they encounter. This is a very
insightful source for this research as it helps to provide insight
on the transgender world of sports.
Davis, H. (2017). Beyond Trans: does gender matter. New York:
New York University Press.
This is a source that tries to answer the question of how the
gender of an individual affects their sport performance. The
author takes a different perspective in defining this issue by
intentionally deciding to drop the word Trans and focuses on
the effects of gender on sports that is how different genders
connect to sports. The author then late tries to connect the
differences discusses with the situation of the transgender
individuals to ascertain if there is anything to really worry
about in regard to this whole controversy. The author concludes
that while the main aspect about males and females that affect
their performance is their hormone and that in the case of the
transgender individual, when this is reversed, then fair
competition can be achieved. This is a resource that has been
helpful in informing and affirming the thesis of this paper.
Hargreaves, J. & Anderson, E. (2014). Routledge handbook of
sport, gender and sexuality. London New York: Routledge.
This is a book with which the author aimed at making the
readers understand the dynamics of gender as well as sex in
sports. It combines literature from sports professionals and
professionals outside the sporting world and this makes it very
rich in knowledge. He book explores the theme of gendered
sporting, why this is important and the evolution that has
happened around this topic over the years one of the being the
presence of transgender population in sports. While addressing
the issue of the transgender population, the author talks about

14. the issue of masculinity, how it has been praised and the
possibility of mediating this using clearer facts. This source
helps to provide insight for this research by giving different
expert perspective on the issue.
Travers, A. (2018). The Trans generation: how Trans kids (and
their parents) are creating a gender revolution. New York: New
York University Press.
This is a very modern book where the author maps the evolution
that has occurred over time which has allowed greater
accommodation of more transgender individuals in sports. The
author is grateful for changes in law and policies as well the
courage that parents as well as transgender children have shown
by standing up for their rights. The book in general
acknowledges the changes in sports management which have
been causes by school kids as well as their parents and how that
has worked out. According to the author many have managed to
successfully accommodate transgender individuals and this is
highly commendable but although there still is some resistance.
The author has also not failed to discusses various issues raised
especially against the revolution and justification for and
against them ad this has helped to greatly inform my argument
for my thesis.
Zeigler, C. (2016). Fair play: how LGBT athletes are claiming
their rightful place in sports. New York, NY: Edge of Sports
Akashic Books.
This is book that focuses on the evolution of the manner which
individuals in the transgender community are treated in sports
over the years. The book is address to parties in the sporting
industry and it helps to offer deep insight on how all parties
involved starting from the government to the players can work
tougher to not only establish an environment that is
accommodative of the transgender population but one that also
promotes fairness in playing. The author advocates for players
to be allowed to lay for the gender with which they identify

15. with and for this reason it has been very helpful in providing
information and evidence to support the thesis.
