Sheldon Johnson Mrs. Linc English B7 20 January 2012 Baseball, the popular and highly acclaimed American game, is one of the many sports that currently fosters the advancement and development of various ethic cultures within its gameplay; generally, common team rosters feature African-American, Japanese, Caucasian, and Hispanic players. Although, date back to the post-World War II era and one may observe that such diversity was hardly permitted, with the game spotlighting the Caucasian players. With racial barrier for sports, and life in general, stronger than ever, primarily for those of African-American descent, it would take an individual who was talented on and off the field of play to break through and surpass this racial obstacle. Jackie Robinson: Baseball Great, authored by Nathan Huggins, features this gifted individual known as Jack (“Jackie”) Roosevelt Robinson. Throughout the biography, Huggins uses a variety a rhetorical terms to depict the lifestyle and numerous hardships Robinson faced throughout his life trek of becoming the first African-American player in a predominantly all-white league.
This allowed many Black Americans to get jobs and played a major role in the country’s war effort. As a result of the boom, the number of unemployed black Americans fell from 937,000 to 152,000. 48% of the black population was urban at the end of the war and jobs in the cities paid more than those in the country allowing Black Americans to be paid more than ever before. This shows an improvement of the position of Black Americans in society. Voting rights were also improved during this time period.
SOCIO ECONOMIC PROBLEMS FACED BY BLACKS IN AMERICA Why is it that African Americans are socio economically backward? And what measures need to undertaken to improve the condition of blacks in America? These are some of the most important questions plaguing the African American community. The United States is considered a country which has people from all racial groups, ranging from whites and blacks to Orientals etc. Like the African Americans, all other minority groups have faced hostility in America but unlike the blacks, they have been able to uplift themselves from a socio-economic perspective.
This makes me question why are African Americans so prominent and dominant in these sports? Also why don’t we see more African Americans in such sports as tennis, boxing, baseball, and golf? These are the sports that Joe Louis, Jack Johnson, Althea Gibson, Arthur Ashe, Jackie Robinson, Tiger Woods, and many more have paved for African Americans, but we don’t see a dominance in these sports by them. Many African Americans grow up in places where there is a basketball court in the neighborhood or a place where boys can go outside and throw a ball around, and learn the fundamentals of these sports, and learn skills and techniques that are rare to find. Many African Americans are not apart of a country club where they
Coach Haskins though didn’t see color when he evaluated the skill of all of his players, and choose who played in the game. With courage and determination, Coach Haskins changed basketball history against all odds, when his underdog team beat the powerhouse Kentucky team with five starting colored players, a first in NCAA Basketball. It was like David vs. Goliath. Through this they were able to make a statement that blacks,
“It is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope” (Henry 228). Due to the high taxes, many Puerto Ricans moved to the United States looking for hope of a better and a more stable place to live. According to a census in 2012, “the departures of island-born Puerto Ricans have contributed to an uptick in the number of island-born Puerto Ricans living stateside, to 1.4 million in 2012”(Cohn, Patten, and Hugo). This emigration is due to various reasons like: job- related, family matter, other, etc. The primarily reason is the job-related because with all the unemployment and high taxes, people moved to look for a better job under stable circumstances.
As society transformed over the years a significant change occurred in the sports industry allowing African Americans to participate among white athletes. Today, in North American professional sport the high percentage of African American athletes outweighs the number of African Americans involved in the upper management of sport organizations on a significant scale. Social perceptions are created when one creates an interpretation of others to reach an understanding of who they are, what they stand for and how they carry themselves. Perceptions lead to correspondent inferences that model false 3 information and perceive inaccurate behaviors of an individual. The perception
The game of baseball is very prevalent in American culture it has even been titled America's pastime. I would like to research subculture to gain better insight into the cause for so much popularity and interest.In addition, I have a few family members who have played baseball
When baseball’s Babe Ruth was reportedly asked about earning a larger salary than the United States President Herbert Hoover during the Great Depression in the 1930’s Ruth defended his salary in response, “Why not? I had a better year than (Herbert Hoover) did.” Ruth earned $785,900 for 14 years in the MLB which hardly compares to New York Yankees’ Alex Rodriguez who will make $33,000,000 in one year, not including endorsements. Even the best Olympic athletes don’t make as much as these American sports athletes, such as Usain Bolt, who won gold in every event he participated in, yet makes substantially less than any of the American Athletes. Also, another problem caused by these
