Sports has always been symbolized by the adage "the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat". In normal context, this adage is a powerful catalyst toward excellence. However, today, it is often easy to miss the translation of these words in the context of a tweet or in conjunction with an emoji.
RATS-IE is committed to the showcase of sports and gaming within an interactive or experiential environment. In many instances, the life and heart of these hereos stand as forbearance emanating greater light on their sports career or gaming career. By becoming a member of this archive, the RATS-IE can finally work tirelessly to showcase the transcendent and complete nature of our sports and gaming heroes.

Martin Luther King said "Every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle; the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals". The RATS-IE will utilize this professional services program to illuminate "dedicated individuals" who have contributed heart and mind toward personal and social progress for African Americans. So often these individuals are not recognized throughout history and grouped into the ceremonious celebration of a MLK day.
The RATS-IE hopes that younger generations can learn from the professionals that join this archival group that "No price is too high to pay for the priviledge of owning yourself". (Friedrich Nietzsche)
B.E.S.T. Software License Fee: | $180.00 | per year (includes hosting) |
Participants of this program are required to license and use the RATS-IE Sand Box online called B.E.S.T. to login, learn, design, and develop their own archive pages. Similar to the RATS-IE Sand Box, there are 100s of rooms or softwares found at the core of technology companies that are typically described as "the Sand Box". These Sand Box rooms typically have multiple computer monitors running software for film, games, or blogging.
Some African American professionals or engineers are privileged to have access and usage of a company Sand Box. Whether a company Sand Box or the RATS-IE sand box, innovation may have these people designing software or archive pages, donning a virtual reality headset, or creating an internet of things (IOT) device.
