We expect sports to be fair and equal. If one works hard, everyone has a chance to win. But is it really true? In reality, female athletes are paid far less than male counterparts. Youth sports cost too much for many families to participate in. African American athletes continue to face discrimination on and off the field. Adaptive sports are considered to be only for those with disabilities. But we also see signs of progress. Sport organizations try to promote equality and fairness through sports. We will explore the intricate relationship between sports and inclusion/exclusion.
