Week 2 subject Racism in sport

Good topic. I know it's bad - you don't need to tell me that. Write something interesting or examples etc...

At present racism is still very present in our society, even more so in sport. For example rugby player Djibril Camara during a match was the victim of monkey screams, degrading insults towards him.
But yet another sportsman Kalidou Koulibaly, a footballer in Naples, also suffers from racist songs. All these offences against these athletes can have serious repercussions. As the interruption of the current match or the setting up of a closed game.

Do you think these racist songs are "true" racism or "tribal" supporting?

Racism is present in sport as elsewhere, but during racist remarks against a player from the supporters, the referee can stop the match. The sport can also be a way to fight racism withe NBA teams who refused to play after racist police blunders. Another fight against racism are the JO of Mexico in 1968 with the "Black Power" made by two afro-american athletes it is a political protest against racism.

Racism is very present in all sports especially in football which is the sport most affected on the level of racism. Racism in football stadiums manifests itself in aggressions, chants, shouts or insults that mainly target players of "colors" (black or mixed race.) but they also target players with a different religion or nationality. However, there are new measures to combat racism in this sport

I think these racist song are " true " racism form of racism because these songs are degrading, humiliating to those who are subjected to this kind of attack.

I think it's worse in football because yes a lot more people Watch football than basketball for example so the more players and supporters there will be more racism. I'm not saying that there is no racism in other sports, just i think the number of supporters and players flock to racism.

Even if attitudes change, racial discrimination in sport has always existed. In our society, racism is often used as a method of deconcentration on the part of supporters, leaders or opponents. The difficulty of racism in sport is that it is not easy to penalize it because in some countries racism is not even considered something wrong. For football for example UEFA has put in place sanctions (example: a referee can stop a match if he notices racist insults even from the fans) of course, this is much simpler in the field of football because of the globalization of the sport.
Education is the key because we can't censor what people say, but we can educate new generations to be more tolerant. (example: anti-racist campaign, FIFA ad "Say No to Racism").

Racism: A set of theories and beliefs that establish a hierarchy between races. Attitude of hostility in principle and rejection towards a category of people because of their skin color, religion, ...
Sport is a reflection of society, they say.

Especially on the issue of racism. Sports culture puts forward the moral and social values of each country. Team spirit and surpassing oneself and differences in the service of the game. Racism is still very present in all sports today. He is still too present for me. For example, racism in football stadiums manifests itself in different ways: assaults, chanting, shouting, insults, defamatory signs and the traditional monkey cries and banana throws aimed at black or mixed-race players. Players are not only targeted because of their skin color, but also because of their religion, and their nationality. Nowadays, many associations fight to face racism in all fields including the field of sport.

Unfortunately there is a large amount of Racism in the society and it’s also true in the world of sport. Indeed many people like the public can insult people who practice and i think that there are several reasons for this like the anger that these people can feel when their favorite team loses, otherwise this can also be a mere wickedness which can come from the opponents. In my opinion i find that it’s deeply sad to attend of acts of racism in the sport because it’s not in agreement to the values of this environment and for me someone who look sport must to have a good mindset.

Racism is still present in sport. For years, racism has decreased sharply beacause the social values have evolved. However, it does not mean that it is no longer present. Indeed, in some sports, we still find racism, particularly in some collective sports such as basketball or volleyball. In 2017, the volleyball club of Tours played a match and a player named Nathan Wounembaina received racist injures about him, so the player decided to leave the field which led to his exclusion from the match. Then, Nathan received a great support of his fans during the return match with signs with these terms : « Say no to Racism ». To conclude, we could say that racism still present in sports but there is a fight against it through this exemple.

What did the league do about the racism?

Racism becomes very present in the stadiums , witch makes the athletes angry. Racism is punished in football , a supporter is prohibited from stadium and the footballer player is suspended during many games. Games have been stopped , players have been leave the ground during match because of racism.
The sport is a place for the good atmosphere , meeting a new people.
The racism must not exist in the sport and in the life of the all days

Racism in the sport was very present before, but with time he appeased.The problem is that is always present even if it's less. There is not long time the racism appeared in a match of football where racist insults were said sure player and this create a polemic.
Outside of that racism in the sport is no very present because there is a certain respect between the athlete even if they are against, the people have evolved.

Racism is a serious plague present in today’s society for far too long, and this plague is still present in our sports. Whether it is discrimination within a team, if a person is sidelined because of his race, or it can be insults and humiliations by spectators, like racists chants. Even if some of those aren't meant to be racist the dammage caused is real and there is no place for such a thing in sports.

I m about to talk about the racism in the sport. Theracism is a prejudice and a stereotype. Indeed the racism isn't new in the sport but is more present in this generation. In all sport the athlete's are confronted with words racism. The sport who is the more touched is the football more of 90% by spectators, racists chants and other discrimination.

The racism is present in sports and in the society has been present for several years. The racism is not only present in football but we see it in football because is highly publicized. Today I choose two examples. After a basketball game of cup of France between Roanne and Boulazac the November 05 2019, a spectator verbally attacks the referees of the game after the defeat of his team. The October 16 1968. At Olympic Games in Mexico City, during the medal ceremony of 200 meters, Jonh CARLOS and Tommie SMITH rise her fists gloved with a black glove on the podium for protest against the racism in America and in the world .

The racism is a dark part of our society since all the time. Even in sport. Some people of minority like black people, Muslim, Jewish, etc are discriminated in sports. Like in 1936 during the Olympics games in Berlin were many Jewish runners was not authorised to participate at the relay race. Or more recently the monkey screams send to black people in football stadiums in Europe the last years. But sports events is also a way to prohibited and comdamn racism. Like in 18968 during the Olympics games in Mexico were for fight racism two American athletes had there fist with a black gloves to the sky on the podium during the anthems against segregation in USA. Or more recently the Kaepernick move created by Kaepernick a black players of US Football, who consist to kneel during the American anthem before USFootball. Some black players do this for fight racism in USA today.

When I hear "racism in sport", I think to the cries of monkeys that Balotelli suffered at a football match.

But racism in sport is more present. Racism is present in sport, in meetings, in matches but above all present on social networks after matches.

Donc racist , banners, cries are very present in the stadiums, and can sometimes stop a game.
Which is good for me because it shows that these cries are not trivial and that it is very serious

Unfortunately racism is fairly widespread. Indeed, in recent years there have been several cases of racist characters. This is manifested by racist insults, racist cries, or racist acts. This phenomenon is widespread everywhere and especially in sport. The sport that suffers the most from this racist phenomenon is football. There were many racist acts in the stands because of the supporters but also between the players.
Fortunately, racism does not represent the values ​​of the sport and the values ​​of sport in general.

Racism is a serious problem of our society since the existence of humans finally. It's mainly felt in the world of sport because it's more and more denounced aloud. To combat this surge of racism which hovers over the world of sport, the regulation provide for the condemnation of racism but there are always scandals linked to racism. Indeed, in the 1970s, during away games, black players were not allowed to sleep in the same hotel as white players. In NBA, we can quote many examples like racist insults aimed at black or asian players, every year. Same, in MLB, a player who is insulted and receives peanuts because he's black, in 2017, is just horrible. We can also talk about the athlete, Jesse Owens, who won many events at the 1936 Olympics Games but didn't receive the same praise as his whites compatriots, again because of his skin color. However, today, some players start to challenge by putting one knee to the ground we think directly of the American football player, Colin Kaepernick, but also of today's NBA or by boycotting matches even if they can be important because racism goes beyond sport.

Racism is a very big problem in our society. It is present everywhere and even in many sports like basketball, soccer, and others. For example, an Afro-American car driver found hanging from the ceiling a hanging rope in his racing stable. In football in Europe, racism manifests itself in insults, monkey calls or banana throws at black players. But sport also makes it possible to denounce racism. In fact, against racism in America many athletes come forward by kneeling during the national anthem or deciding at the last moment to stay in the locker room.

Do you think the kneeling is still worthwhile? Isn't it more PR now?
