Low‑Barrier Sports Beat DEI Workshops

Sports like pickleball, with easy entry, doubles play, and a playful vibe, create repeated cross‑age and cross‑background contact that builds familiarity and trust. This everyday, voluntary cooperation can achieve 'diversity' outcomes more reliably than compliance‑oriented trainings. Institutions should design and subsidize such activities if they want durable intergroup cohesion. — It redirects diversity policy from classroom moralizing to environment and activity design that fosters organic, repeated, low‑stakes cooperation.
