My point being:
How can you not be aware of the subtle and not subtle racism of being other in a sporting environment and how decisions have been made about you before you've done anything?
We don't have to go far back in time to see sporting personalities having their chances of representing their country scuppered because of the colour of their skin.
It might not be talked openly about but unconscious bias is a thing.
Edit: I can't. Is there a textual analysis of sporting articles for this thing? I don't read acres of sports articles, inrrng for the win.
I'd imagine it's not particularly difficult for linguistics and r to do.
