I interviewed Coach Travis Lyons of the Howard Mens Basketball Team on how he felt about race in sports. Coach Travis uttered that race plays a big role in sports in the pros and definitely in college sports. Blacks are unable to express themselves as individuals in sports because they are looked upon as thugs or uneducated individuals. Coach Travis also said that the black coach is definitely rare nowadays in sports although they are always interviewed to meet certain quotas. This does not mean that black coaches are not qualified but it means that black coaches are frowned upon in professional sports and also in collegiate sports. Lastly Coach Travis spoke on how race plays n important role in salary as well. A white pitcher in baseball will be paid more than a black pitcher of the same quality due to race.
