I can open most papers and find thatsome of the most obscure sports both local and nationally receive coverage. Someone felt it was important and saw to that coverage was publicized. How is that track and field one of the most celebrated events in the olympics receives little or no coverage. It is evident that the athletes that excel most in the U.S happen to be African
Americans.
I am certain that if more white athletes were
dominate interest and coverage would be different. I also fault black publications and the two black owned televisio stations for not being responsible enough to celebrate these athletes when major competitions occur. It is understood that some whites still have issues they must resolve within themselves before ever being fair or objective enough to do the right thing, black media must take up the slack. I applaud Europeans for their color blindness and appreciation of all track participants despite their race. I say to the American media no matter how you try to justify it, it is apparent that something still eats away at the core of who you are and perpetuates unfairness. Much success to the athletes America does'nt deserve your allegiance if they can't acknowledge your equality and talent.
