What has happened to the A m er
ican Dream?
The American way is to excel.
We are supposed to be the coun
try where hard work and intellect
will bring personal rewards. "Study
hard, kid ,” “ Get that degree, g irl,"
and you will find that place in the
sun. W ho were these people talking
about? They must have meant white
boys and girls, because racism is as
strong in the sport world as it is in
the total society.
W hat do the fans want? In I946
the first black man went into profes
sional baseball. It opened the door
lips. Wayne Taylor; Craig Mouton, Johnny Liday.
Eddie Wallace. Ray Williams. Coaches: George
Carney (L), Cletus Goodlow (R).
fo r the best players to com pete
against each other; not only in base
ball, but in all m ajor sports in this
country.
The fans arc saying there are too
many black players on their favorite
teams. They feel they can't relate to
them. M y God! W ould they rather
see a diluted product than see the
best players in the world testing each
o th e r's skills? I thought that was
why people paid their hard-earned
money— to see the best players vy
ing fo r their prize in the specific
sport. If people just wanted to see a
contest, they could go to the Y .M .
C .A .
Let's stop color-watching and get
to product-watching. This country
needs educating on both sides, white
and black.
I feel that too many sportswriters
put th e ir racial feelings in p rin t,
showing their ignorance about the
sport scene and about life . L ife is
too short to hate. We must stop pos
turing and start loving and caring
fo r each o th e r— and just enjoy
sport.
I feel good hearing " T h e Star
Spangled Banner” before a game.
This is a great country. Let’s make it
greater by being toleran t o f each
other’s color and culture. Let’s keep
color out o f sport. Let the game be
real.
Jackie Robinson is dead. T h irty -
six years of progress must continue.
M y God, just think what the games
would be w ith o u t Reggie, C arew ,
Campy H ank, Motley Brown, D .J.
W ilt, Russ. I could go on. W h at
joys we w ould miss i f race enters
sport any more than it does already.
There’s room for improvement, but
for now, let’s get away from the se
rious things o f life and let’s go to a
game. A fte r all i t ’ s only a game.
Let's continue that work-hard ethic.
I t ’s the American way, not a dream,
and blacks are A m ericans! Play
ball!
