sports is a separate religion, caste and race....that all...
Neeraj Chopra at 23 is a pan Indian icon. A role model for all. Winning gold in an Olympic event is like reaching the top of the world. And look for hie caste is just sickening.
This is like how race is being brought out in international discourse about sports.
The evel of popularity has made sports more than just entertainment, it’s also part of our national identity, a source of inspiration for personal achievement, and a means to teach our children valuable lessons about teamwork and social ethics.
Let's talk about sports in the context of America. For African Americans, sports has all those values – but it also has some extra implications.
For people of color, professional sports has always been a mirror of America’s attitude toward race: as long as black players were restricted from taking the field, then the rest of black Americans would never truly be considered equal, meaning they would not be given equal educational or employment opportunities.
Even after they were permitted to play, sports has been the public face of America, not what we sentimentally profess to believe. That is why whatever happens in sports regarding race, plays out on the national stage. Right now, sports may be the best hope for change regarding racial disparity because it has the best chance of informing white Americans of that disparity and motivating them to act.
Similarly, we need this Olympic glory to move over the considerations of caste.
