Why is it, in this day and age, we are still having problems with athletes of color in sports? An athlete should be considered and athlete no matter what race, gender, or age. The color of an athletes skin has been an issue for years now, yet I still cannot figure out why, An athlete should be judged on skill, not on what they look like. However, there have been more and more athletes of color in sports and less and less athletes that are not. For instance, if a white man plays basketball, he has to live up to the Michael Jordan's, Kobe Bryant's, or Lebron James' just to be recognized. The same thing goes for football. How many white players are there relative to those of color? Discrimination is present these days no matter what the race. The world is shifting in the realm of sports, yet someone will always have something to say. If everyone would take the time to admire the athletes ability and not what they look like, the sports world would be a much better place.
