With the anniversary of Martin Luther King Day having taken place earlier this week, there has been a lot of talk in sports arenas around the country regarding diversity. This is non truer statement then at the NCAA sports level. The goal of the NCAA is to allow any collegiate athlete that shows exemplary academic abilities in the classroom the opportunity to play a sport on the field or court.
I believe that the NCAA has been very successful with diversifying the sports and the athletes that participate in them. I think that having diversity in collegiate sports is a good thing because it allows the athletes the chance to travel around to many places and help their team win games. What do I mean by this? If there is a student on a team from another country then the likelihood of the team playing a game in that person’s country may get better because of all the new fans it could bring over to the U.S. sports world. It would be a good thing because if people from another country came over to watch a collegiate sporting event, then citizens of the United States may get to learn about other cultures.
