Becoming a famous coach or athlete might seem like the epitome of the American dream. No matter your race or background, enough talent and drive should get you to the big time, right? But the playing field is not really that level. Minorities are often passed over for prestigious coaching position. Black athletes are described as "naturally gifted" while white athletes are praised for their hard work. And universities make billions off their sports teams even as players-most of them minorities-collect fleeting benefits. In the Race and Sports series, examine the systemic biases in sports for yourself and consider what they mean for American society. Book jacket.
