Breaking the barrier for diversity in sports in the NFL, NBA and MLB were incredible feats. Sports have the power to create social change and they’ve done so throughout time. As a microcosm of human interactions, sports challenges us to interact with others. And often, those we encounter are quite different in many respects. Diversity in sports involves not only players having different sets of skills but also players having differences in beliefs, opinions, and experiences. Diversity exists everywhere.
