By definition, racism is the hate of one person by another on the base of either the language they speak or the tone of their skin. The one that usually expresses this type of negative feeling usually presumes that because they are of a certain ethnical origin, they are superior compared to others. It has roots dug deep all through history. For that, racism in sports media is still a very big problem.
In most cases, the main aim of media is bringing people from all corners of life together. This is due to the fact that through the televisions, radio and even newspapers, humanity can be able to relate to the same happenings in the world and express their views and learn on how other people think. Nevertheless, this world is full of racist and in sport; this becomes a platform where hate is very pronounced.
Sport is discussed on a daily basis in the various internet sites. People talk about the games as they happen and they are free to express their views in whatever way that they feel best fits. Racial discrimination becomes a matter of concern as people talk trash about the players, abusing them due to their pigmentation or ethnical background which can be very demoralizing.
There comes a time when very great tournaments rare organized. The composition of these sports is quite different as in participation is people from different countries that speak a foreign dialect. In other cases, the players are not given the privilege of having commentators who can translate for them the ongoing game. This becomes an issue due to the fact that only individuals from certain language are affected which brings about ill feeling and one feels like an outcast.
Sports coverage of the black players is another issue of concern. There is a very large population of white media that covers the major professional sports and also a high number of black players in these games. Report that usually comes out is that one that refers to these black players as natural athletes who do not have to work as hard as their other team mates in order to get results. This is just trash talk and it is not healthy for games.
On a more positive note, this issue in the sports sector is going on the low. Comparison cannot be made like in the early years where even people went as far as killing their team members due to hate. The media has made steps to come up with ways and means to see to it that the use of hateful language is kept on the low and peace in maintained.
It is said that broadcasting can build and destroy. There are certain athletes who are just a darling to the public eye and because they are of a certain ethnical background there are those that are not happy about that. They just and patiently wait for one to screw up in the slightest manner so that they can escalate the issue and drug their name all through the mud until they are no more.
Racism runs very deep in sport media. In a bid to solve the issue of negative ethnicity, it is a wise step to balance the media crew in terms of race. This avoids domination of a particular race which triggers hate. When they are all balanced, it will be much harder for them to put across negative statements about others.
