For African-Americans: Do you find that white people like to talk about Larry Bird and Rocky Marciano?
African Americans: when you're talking to white people about sports, do you find that they often bring up Larry Bird and Rocky Marciano? Do you get the sense that they're trying to prove that white people can be just as good as black people in sports that they don't usually excel in? Do they do this out of a sense of inferiority, and are they trying to prove themselves? Is it even normal to root for your own color, as Muhammad Ali said?
For the pure sports enthusiasts ability transcends racial barriers for most people. Some sports are less polarizing than others obviously and proof is in the putting. Still I find most White sports fans can not deny an athletes greatest. I don't know of any White people who are serious sport fans that would deny Michael Jordan as the greatest Basketball player ever. I don't know of any White people who didn't like or at least respect Walter Payton. I mentioned these two because they transcended race in their appeal and popularity. Now days boxing has lost much of it's popularity among Black and White sports fans. MMA is the wave of the future. This is where the White combat sport audience has gone. It has gained some popularity among the Black sport community as well. Black people are more into American Football and Basketball. Again White people seem more inclined to recognize talent. I consider myself the same way. I have praised and enjoyed the achievements of White athletes for their skill as well. I feel the older I get I'm more of a fan of good play within the sport rather than having my focus on one particular team or even one player. .
