World Of Sport

For centuries andis still finding itself. The racism that remains could be seen through basket ball athletes. This year, the Torian Graham of ASU flipped off the UA audience after theyallegedly screamed racial slurs. This is not asabout after he screamed slur Marcus Smart, who jumped into the stands had been Playing for Oklahoma State in the time and shoved a Texas Tech fan. These attacks occur all the time, and the problem can be bigger than we realize because it is blocked by players bring it up. I think in these cases you're viewing race used because a weapon to belittle an athlete,'' said Guy Harrison, who's exploring race and gender in sports websites for his Ph.D in journalism and mass communication and is a part of the Black Graduate Student Association in ASU. 

That athlete does not have control over the fact that's the weapon which fans choose to utilize, and that their skin is darker than people. We see athletes stick up for causes that they believe in. LeBron James alongside other athletes are proven into stand up and speak out about problems in the community. Nevertheless, rather than being praised for these activities, athletes are frequently assaulted and told to stick to sports. Its mainly a privileged majority which are telling these athletes to adhere to sports into, you know, just keep quiet and play, Harrison said. And the reasoning behind that's well sports is an escape, such as sports and politics do not mesh. 

Like people do not watch on a National Football League Sunday and turn the Television on and expect into hear about politics, that they would like to escape all of that. Nevertheless, for an individual of colour or a female there's no escape, even when you take a seat and turn the Television on. Itisnt right to expect athletes who've come from communities impacted by these issues into simply be silent. Lots of those athletes have come from, in a lot of cases, the very same neighborhoods where a lot of those shootings, these acts of police brutality, these athletes are coming from these same communities, Harrison said.
