There Is A Long History To Be Discovered In White Privilege Sports

Posted on 02. May, 2015 by Toni Vang in Marketing

Many people say that being white has many advantages but that is no longer true. Society as we know it is changing even if it is a very slow progression. The same can be said to the white privilege sports. All sports are now being played by a wide diversity of races although there may be a few that more whites play then others and vice versa.

Many years ago in all races it was the norm for the whites to have a leg up over the blacks in regard to having jobs, housing as well as schooling. It meant that the whites were given an advantage of having a head start. In some cases this might still be true. A survey was taken in the United States of America asking the population if there were certain benefits in today’s society to being white. The poles came back with fifty three percent saying yes, forty two saying no, and three percent saying they don’t know.

Basketball is one sport that is now mainly played by the black population. It was a whites only game in eighteen ninety two when James Naismith invented it. The popularity of the game grew and the blacks began to play their own form of this sport in the post Civil War of America.

Netball is also a very popular game and although mainly woman play it some men also enjoy it. It plays an important social and public part of life and in the apartheid era in South Africa it was mainly a white’s game. It has now become a more predominantly black sport very much the same as Soccer. The President of the South African Netball team is Mimi Mthethwa and the Chief Executive Officer is Blanch de la Guerre.

If one has never exercised and is overweight rather check with ones general practitioner first. If trying to decide which activity would best suit one try asking a few simple questions. If one does not like the cold or the heat then any outdoor activity should be avoided always try to pick something that you will enjoy. Playing racquetball is a great sport as it will keep the heart healthy as well as use all muscles in the body.

The censor also says that out of the one hundred and seventy five corner backs, one hundred and seventy are black. At the running back position one hundred and seven out of one hundred and twenty players of African American. The decision for recruiting these players could very well be because of their height, weight as well as their skill and has nothing to do with their color.

There seems to also be a higher percentage of blacks than whites when it comes to athletics. This could be because they have acquired these qualities through either environmental or hereditary factors. They seem to have more of an inborn physical skill when it comes to running as well as wanting to succeed.

Being an East Asian seems to be even harder as they are stereotyped as being both athletically and physically poorer to any other race. This has lead to them not being recruited as well as badly under-represented in many sports. In athletics they only represent two percent while in the National Football League about one point nine percent, something that has really changed with the decades.
