How Important Is It To Cut Down Racism In Sports Media

By Tammie Caldwell


Racial prejudice is ultimately an evil thing. However, even though people know that it is something derogatory and unpleasant, there are still a lot who close their hearts and continue looking down on those they deem as inferior to them. Though that may be saddening, such occurrence is still prevalent these days.

Even when you look at the world where athletes are, you can see a lot of situations where racial prejudice has become evident. It does not matter if the sport is basketball, soccer, golf, or ice hockey, racial prejudice is there. Such discrimination hurts not only the players but the fans as well. Not only that, there is also racism in sports media.

However, even when it is still rampant, people should guide themselves toward the elimination of such discrimination. People will only suffer from the things that arise from such discriminating behavior. Be it the bullies or the victims, everyone will be impacted by the actions they take. Here are some of the basic reasons for moving toward the elimination of racial discrimination.

First, racial prejudice is a factor impeding or preventing people subjected to racial prejudice from achieve their full potential as human beings. Through the discrimination of those who think they are superior, they will think that they lack something as a person. No matter who it is who gets subjected to discrimination, it can be really disheartening.

Racial discrimination is another contributing factor why people who fell prey to that would not be able to contribute to their society. Because they are not able to reach the level of confidence that will allow them to pull out their potential from their inner selves, they cannot make any contributions at all. That would surely affect the society badly.

You will see that the racial prejudice other people have against their victims also impedes or prevents the bullies from benefiting from the potential contribution their victims may have given. If they are not able to benefit from that, such situation will result to the weakening of the community. That would not be good as a whole.

The likelihood of receiving retaliation from the victims gets higher as time passes by as well. While one might be able to tolerate bad things for a while, no person is built to last these discriminatory behaviors for a long time. They would either break or they would either fight back. When they fight back, something bad might happen.

If one belongs to a democratic country, then racial prejudice is against the various democratic ideals that are being promoted by democracy. Since it goes against these ideals, it is only natural to promote the reduction or total elimination of racial prejudice. No democratic country should tolerate racial prejudice.

Not all people might be convinced but racial prejudice is also illegal. There is no country that promotes racial prejudice, after all. In fact, since it is something derogatory and deteriorates the quality of the citizens, it has been banned. It would be good if this becomes totally eliminated since people will be comfortable with others better that way.
