The games that we play today are virtually the same games we played ninety years
ago with a few exceptions. The first difference is the equipment we play with.
The second difference is the skill level of the players. The third and possibly
most important difference is integration of the games. If you take away the new
equipment, and the players skill levels you still have the same game with the
same basic principle. However, if you take away the integration of the game you
would take away a whole other dimension that people of different race have
brought to the game we play. Golfers would still be driven balls without tees.
Players like Hank Aaron, Tiger Woods, and Muhammad Ali would never have
rewritten the record books. Most importantly, however, these players of other
races would still be playing in obscurity never being recognized for the
greatness of their athletic ability.
On this web page, we will examine the change
in sports, specifically baseball, boxing, and golf, from the
segregated years during the 1920’s and now the integrated years of the
1990’s. While not all current players, and management for that matter, are
completely “supportive” of the idea of integration, it has come a long way.
During the 1920’s, baseball officially became segregated although it had been
for many years. Before the 1960’s, the PGA tour had a “Caucasians-only”
clause in their rulebook. Black boxers were dislike so much that white boxing
promoters did everything they could just to find the “Great White Hope” to
defeat one black man. Now the resting place for prejudice is now in the office.
This is a great site about friendship and what it means
to these guys.
They're good friends of mine and have a good message. So go
check it out.
