The
role sports play in racism is that every sport has many races that come together
and work as a team. Teammates have to understand each other in this
understanding leads to acceptances. In the movie “42” Jackie Robinsons teammates
did not want him on the team. By the end of the movie they were defending him because
they has respect for the man and looked past the color of his skin. In my opinion
I think they do help eliminate racism because if someone is raciest it wouldn’t
stop them from cheering for there favorite team or sport. When the movie Remember
the Titans switched to having blacks on their team some off the white fans
stayed and still cheered them on. Another example is when Julian went to
Pelatier’s house and a police officer stopped him, Julian though he was going
to be harassed but instead the officer told him good game. They both had a
change of heart. Sports coaches have a moral obligation to not single anyone
out because of their race. As a little kid you don’t see others different from
you because of their color, you learn how to think and look at that other
person from your parents or family.
