There is a famous saying that in periods of unwanted circumstances, a little show of affection can change the situation positively. On other occasions, it seems that a great deal of love is needed to influence certain conditions, conditions that are highly technical and affect a great deal of people like racism in professional sports. Issues of racial discrimination should be hinged or linked to characters and it should be viewed with a wider scope and tackled adequately.
We live in very exciting sporting times to review the effect of racism on our daily lives. From the continues talks about social changes in the NFL and MLB, to instances that keep recurring in international soccer to NBA events it appears that the issue is the only topic of interest all over the media. The comments of key players can actually act as catalysts that would spark conversations at a broader scale, which would provide a lot of sports people the chance for reactions and reflections.
And it has a deep meaning for lots of people who currently go to the public to make comments on what they feel are their own conception of what racism is or cannot be. Every league requires leaders to be in unison against all forms of bigotry and hatred. And every little action by any person can lead to an impact that resonates throughout a nation. That single denouncement of a bigot by that single personality has the impact of causing a ripple through the consciousness of a nation.
A societal move like the mass abandonment of a racist's products and services can go a long way to the create awareness to future generations and create mass hatred for the racist. Sports participants are also expected to form a voice where cases of racism should be trashed and stiff punishments should be given to offenders. This will send an important message to the sporting world as a whole.
And when that reaction begins there is no way to predict or imagine its ripple effects. The impact of such combined gestures can be likened to the ripples of waves on an ocean. You just start it and watch it begin to grow out of proportion. And it begins with one voice speaking out; speaking out on injustice. That voice is then captured by the media. And the media knows how to do its work well, by informing, enlightening, and influencing people.
As soon as the knowledge has been established by the media, critical measures can be taken, and stereotype can be created. These decisions include sanctioning leaders of the sport involved, diminishing every business interest of the person involved and the mass abandonment of a racist's products and services. The other impacts experienced cannot be forecasted.
Racism is an act that leaves its footprints and destroys the social status, splendor and power acquired by its victims turning them into down-and-out members of the society searching for an opportunity to regain their stance in the society. They are being stereotyped by relatives; friends and associates making them unwanted and rejected in the society.
All that is expected for us to fight racism in our favorite sports is to speak out whenever we are a victim. And before long, that little gesture would lead to the much - needed revival and change that we desperately need in this world.
