Racism in sports

In sports there is much room for racism, sports that were segregated become integrated and people don't change with the time. Many sports have racism if you recall Luis Suarez problems with Patrice Evra in which he was found guilty and banned for eight matches with a 40,000 euro fine.  According to research conducted by UPENN, there is also racism in Basketball. Studies showed that in 13 seasons from the 1991 season to the 2004 season, white referees called out a greater amount of fouls against black players then white players. The same was seen in black officials against white players. It is sad to see people who are same in ablility but handicapped by the referee because of his personal dislike of the ethnicity.Racism has been a problem throughout history but there is improvement, people are working together. In sports we see improvement from the first baseball player in the white MLB to what we have today a mixture of races competing to be the best.
