Sports

So today and Monday we watched a movie about the politics of sports. It seemed to be a lot more than that as the movie went on. This is the type of thing I have been waiting for all semester is to talk about something to do with sports. I thought it was very interesting to see what he talked about with the woman’s rights and how he talked about what African Americans went through in sports for many years. I think it was bad how people then treated woman in sports. They are still fighting for equal in the Wimbledon Championships in London. This is a tennis tourney just incase someone didn’t know but they just finally got it were it is pretty equal to what the men make when they win the championship. When they were talking about the African American part of sports. All I could think about was the movie 42 that just came out this past summer. It is a movie about Jackie Robinson the first black man to play in Major League Baseball. If you see that movie it will just show you how much he went through in his first year in the MLB and it was just very interesting to see how he handled it. I think it is crazy how badly people were treated back in the old days. Just because they had a different skin color they were not aloud to play pro sports. It has gotten a lot better over the years and it will grow as years go by.
