The word network is used to refer to the tools that are used to store and deliver news and information to the public. We all interact with the media in one way or another. Racism is the unfair victimization of other people based on their race. Racism in sports media is a problem that is yet to be solved. It is evident in most sports events if not all.
Fairness is one thing that the networks and sports share in common. They journalist who love and understand the nature of their work will struggle to make sure they deliver truthful information. Ensuring that justice has been served. In games, the victory of a person is based on his talent. All the other factors should be numb to him. It is only fair when it is based on talent.
When chauvinism infests itself in both the press and games, it takes away the fairness that they both fight for. It denies very talented individuals opportunities of a life time. The discrimination causes them to shy away from sporting activities. It kills their will to do what they love. It destroys their driving force and decreases their productivity.
If racism in sports is to be put to an end, strong measures need to be effected. Since it is a problem that is touching everyone, directly or indirectly, we need to solve it as a whole.
Can chauvinism end? That is something that we are yet to find out. It started centuries back and is still present today. It would therefore mean that we need to take drastic measures to eliminate it from the society.
We need to see the similarities in each other. It is the similarities that draw us to each other. In so doing we can treat one another in a more respectful manner. A player from another ethnic group does not deserve different treatment. We become inconsiderate when we victimize people who have no control over their background.
It is only fair that media should protect the rights of the people. There should be no airing of racial comments, posts and written material. They are a mirror of our society. They should show us what is happening and helps us kill the evil in it. Therefore, they should be part of our solutions in the sports industry.
Penalties should be put in place for those who violate the rights of others by subjecting them to chauvinism. Spectators should be punished for discrimination of participants. The same should also apply to journalist who spread racialism through the media. This penalties should be to show people that there are consequences for their actions against our esteemed sportsmen and women.
All in all, everything that happens in society is a result of what people have in mind. Our minds are tools that aid in our daily activities but are also weapons that can destroy others and ourselves. We should be open minded and allow ourselves to think of others as equals. When ethnicity is eliminated in the mind, it will have nowhere else to thrive. Not even in sports.
