    First, decide on the journal where you wish to publish. Look at the titles.

    Give a bland descriptive, even unimaginative title: Racism in football and basketball. This is the first step.

    By the time you complete your paper, a catchy title or attractive word play may flash . Even if it does not, a research paper would be judged by its findings.

    General practice is to give a phrase first. Then put a colon and explain the phrase.

    "Not playing ball: Racism in football and basketball in US during..." ...

    I don't know much about sports in general so it would be difficult to give you a thesis statement without more information. However, for a title, how about a play on words.

    For example, using the sport football, you could use the title "Passing the great divide."

    I just did a paper on the invention and early stages of baseball, it was actually really fun and i was able to do my work because i am interested in baseball. I dont know if you are but thats just my idea. Ok maybe not fun, cuz it is a research paper. But it was the most fun topic I could think and it didnt get boring
