Strikes me that sports is not the best place to be examining racism.  If anything it is an area that selects on pure sporting merit and has been doing so since long ago.  And many of the top athletes in their chosen sport are black or of minority descent.  but in the current climate can't hurt to be "on the side of history".

Yes, to above comment. This topic should stay out of sports - although I think it’s already too late. Also, this article is lacking examples of what the programming here is about.

Sports are a reflection of America, some Whites will pay their last dollar to see a black man, running down the field ,and see the same Black running down the street and think he is a criminal

Good for CBS Sports to do this.

The people complaining about these things on JT, were the same ones applauding Rui Hachimura when he talked about the racism he experienced growing up in Japan.

Please name one White person (or any color person) who would pay their last dollar to see a Black man run down a field.

The statement is a heaping, smelly, steaming pile of cow poop.

Nothing like a little hyperbole to counter hyperbole.
