How To Stop Racism In Professional Sports

By Tammie Caldwell


Racism in sports happens and occurs everywhere. People who discriminate others bring racism into sport. As history proceeded, racism in sports has also shrunk rapidly. It seems that everybody accepts the reality that racism cannot be eliminated in ones life. But the truth is, it can be stopped if everyone will fight for it especially in the field of sports.

Sports are undeniably an important part of the society today. Millions watch television everyday to follow their team or their favorite players. Games are allotted sports on the popular networks, sports news can be seen over the regular nightly news, there are colleges around the country are known for their sports than their academics and the list is endless. Racism in professional sports are actually present today.

When there are incidents of racism or bigotry against players, it is actually a big news and the country sees it. Most of the contradictions with respect to black athletes these days stand in contrast to the past, when blacks were not even allowed to participate, much less to be considered for ownership or management positions.

Discrimination may also exist in specific attitudes of fans towards black athletes and in proper management positions. But, today, it is far perfect in the tremendous improvement over the past years. The problems or issues could faced by most black athletes which they would be grateful to have.

While it is undeniably true that the admission of blacks to the ranks of college and professional sport was slowly coming, it is clear from a certain examination of professional today that blacks and whites may coexist and work together on teams in every sport. In professional sport, black athletes stated that they were underpaid.

Inequality and xenophobia are crucial issues in a game and often seems to provoke the most violent and uncontrolled behaviors. In a worldly society, where the moral and ethics stature of its inhabitants appears to be improving at a rapid pace. What surprises about the issue of race within a sport is that you recognize the basis of discrimination.

There are many players protesting against homophobia and inequalities, but this is not actually new. Discrimination in sport often occurs everywhere. No matter how you try to be fair with others, but there are always people who like to step on you and still practice racial discrimination. Sport also means raising awareness that could adhere the notion of fair games.

It is truly inspiring to see many organizations taking a stand for equality. However, the right ways and steps are being taken to try to take some of the inequality and discrimination out of this past time. Most of these athletes will unfortunately deal with the prejudices of societal norms until society moves past inequality first.

Actually, everyone can prevent inequality. You just need to think the right way. There are times when people judge others by their appearances when they are suppose to judge them on their physical appearances and personalities. It would not be nice if you were called, white, black, brown, it only hurts. Do not be racist, just be friendly especially for any sport.
