What Everybody Needs To Know About Racism In Professional Sports

By Mattie MacDonald


There are over six billion people in the world. There are over one hundred and ninety countries coexisting together, each with their own rules, government, and leaders. There are close to one hundred and seventy national languages that are recognized all over, not even counting the multitude of dialects that every region is known to have. There are indeed so many differences that divide the entire population, and there are some who make quite a big deal out of things that will often constitute racism.

All of these rifts and misunderstandings often lead to occurrences of racism. There are also so many contributory things that lead to the certain gap between people, and discrimination and prejudices are often among them. Racism in professional sports is even still an impending issue, despite all the technological advances that everyone is enjoying altogether.

This issue remains to be existent in daily living mainly due to the practices, systems, and beliefs tat one has grown up to and accepted as infallible truth. This has led for one to think that certain races are inferior or superior to others when it comes to certain things and activities. These beliefs are most often based on presumptions as to how a group should behave and act, which undoubtedly leads to misunderstandings and wider gaps between relationships.

Racism is not inherent in everyone. No one is born and instantly hates other races. For most cases, experts have reasons to believe that ignorance is one of its main causes. The things that one does along with the others in the community is the right thing for them. The things that others do differently are then considered wrong by these people, only because this is not the way they do such things.

Another cause is fear. As the old adage goes, people generally fear what they do not understand. Instead of taking measures to know and learn, they often react negatively to these and imply that they are better. This often stems from fear above everything else. They are afraid that they might be replaced by something better, which is why they spread about bad things to eliminate threats.

Insecurities can also be quite contributory. They are suffering behind the no nonsense exterior. Whether consciously or otherwise, they often try and inflict the same pain to others who seem happier than they are. As they say, misery likes company.

The issue is a very serious one. It has even affected so many lives and so many parts of living. It can even have the power to destroy a person. It turns an otherwise happy and ambitious individual to somebody who is bitter, violent, and angry. It also hinders them from seeing the good and the beautiful in things. Ultimately, it can lead to depression and loss of the will to live.

It has also invaded even the aspects that are supposed to provide entertainment. This includes the world of professional sports. It is not surprising to hear that a certain athlete has been impeded from playing due to his color, because it happens quite often.

Racism is indeed saddening. It impedes the growth of humankind. Unless it is not stopped, people will never be able to reach their fullest potential and discover what they can really do, with differences that get along in the way.
