Racism in sports

     What roles do sports play in racism? I believe that sports have a huge role in racism because they put both the races colored and white together in the same game on the same team and they are all equal to each other no matter what. like in the movie "Remember The Titans" they made them sleep with one of each race. They made them understand each other and once they understood each other they were able to play like no tomorrow and didn't lose a single game all season.


     I believe that sports do help to eliminate racism. Because in the movie 42 Jackie Robinson was not wanted in the white major league baseball. But after a few games he was loved by his teammates and treated like one of there own. This is the reason why I believe that sports help to eliminate racism without sports we probably would never have accepted the colored people for who they are and not the color of there skin.
      I believe that sports both amateur and professional have a huge responsibility to play in racism like in the movie "Glory Road" where more and more people started to love them for having colored people on there team and as there starters in the championship game. The reason why I think that is because the fans of the sports will tend to copy their team and favorite players.
