In almost all activities in the society, people are discriminated by others because of the race they come from. However, in many professional sports, things are handled quite differently. In athletics there are very many people from the black American society who have managed to build successful careers in different sports like basketball, football and even athletics. For this reason, the article seeks to analyze racism in professional sports.
When the choosing of the team members is being done, people are qualified based on their level of skill. It is not possible to practice racism in such a case because if someone from the preferred race does not know how to play they cannot be forced. The coaches have to be genuine because in the end they want their teams to be good performers. This is why the sports teams have a variety of people from different races.
However, in spite of this view, people continue to have different opinions on this matter. Some people still believe that to some extent there is still some form of racism in athletics. Some people feel that the black American players are not being included in these jobs as professional coaches. Many also feel like the most important positions in many games are mainly offered to the white people.
A certain research was done a few years back and the findings stated that most of the sporting games like football and athletics are dominated by black players yet when it comes to management, the white people dominate them. The average number of African Americans who may be willing to work in management positions is very high yet they are not being hired.
For one to properly handle a team, they need to have lots of skill and experiences in the sport so that they may easily understand all things that are happening. If employers were reasonable, it is the African individuals who would have been in most seats in these organizations because they have better comprehension of the sports they play.
Very many white players and team managers have still not accepted the black players and they are not reluctant in showing it. For instance, a team manager recently expressed his disgust for the colored people when he was accidentally caught on tape asking his girlfriend to stop posting pictures of black American men on her social media accounts.
Many people have kept quiet about their feelings towards the colored people just because of the consequences they would face after making their remarks but the truth is people have not fully accepted that all people are equal. This is why many people unknowingly make remarks that show their racist sides even without them knowing.
In conclusion, despite the few bad people in the society discriminating others, there are still many others who have come out trying to support the fight against racists. This situation has highly improved that the first black president was elected in the United States of America. Many people have since realized that all people are equal but with different skin colors. This is the message that the sports managements are required to understand.
