Synopsis of the NBA
The 2010 Racial &
Gender Report Card
by
Richard Lapchick
with Christopher Kaiser, Christina Russell, and Natalie Welch

The NBA continues to set the standard for the industry as the leader on issues related to race and gender hiring practices. As the 2010 Racial and Gender Report Card shows, the National Basketball Association had the best grade among the men’s leagues for race and gender, as it has for two decades.

The NBA had an A for race, and an A‐ for gender for a combined A.

Based on the total points used in the weighted scales, the NBA earned its highest grade ever for gender at 89.1 (up from its previous high of 89 points). The NBA grade for race was 93.8 which, while down from the 2009 Report when it was 94.9, was still higher than any other sport in the history of the Racial and Gender Report Card. The NBA again received men’s pro sports only A for a combined grade for race and gender with a record combined point total of 91.5.

Dehydration

Dehydration occurs when your body loses too much fluid. This can happen when you stop drinking water or lose large amounts of fluid through diarrhea, vomiting, sweating, or exercise. Not drinking enough fluids can cause muscle cramps. You may feel faint. Usually your body can reabsorb fluid from your blood and other body tissues. But, by the time you become severely dehydrated, you no longer have enough fluid in your body to get blood to your organs, and you may go into shock, which is a life-threatening condition.

Dehydration can occur in anyone of any age, but it is most dangerous for babies, small children, and older adults.
