sports


            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.
