There Is Far Less Attention For White Privilege Sports That Do Not Adapt
It is a proven fact that sitting in a chair in front of the television all day every day is very bad for one's health. The human body was not created to do nothing but to enjoy the outdoors and to interact with other people. White privilege sports are becoming more and more obsolete as all races are now taking control of their health and doing what they can to become healthy.
Joining a sports team not only helps to improve one's confidence but also helps one to work and if need be to fight for what they believe in. It teaches one to learn how to accept criticism and to also recognize all their weaknesses as well as strengths. The most important aspect is that everyone can learn how to become a team player and try ones best if not for themselves but for the other members.
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.
When it comes to the National Football League it is said that there are more than sixty eight percent of the players that are African American. There are six positions that are thought to be more for the white players then the blacks. These are the quarterbacks, tight ends, long snapper as well as the center and the placekickers.
Skate parks have been constructed since the nineteen seventies not only for skating but also for scooters, freestyle BMXs and aggressive skaters as well. The first of these boards that were made were constructed out of old wooden boxes and boards and then had wheels attached to the bottom. It is thought that these were thought up when the surfers became bored when there were no waves and constructed these to keep themselves busy.
The first magazine for this sport was published in nineteen sixty four by the Quarterly Skateboarder. There were unfortunately only four issues ever printed but eleven years later they did manage to resume the publication. When this was finally recognized and considered a sport for competitions there were only two disciplines and they were the slalom and freestyle.
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.
