Check this out. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/eticket/story?page=buffalo58. It's about the University of Buffalo and how it didn't accept a bowl bid because their African American athletes couldnt't play in 1958.

Should sports teams be named after a race of people?

A comical view about how sports were separated between the races

Race and Sports

African Americans have always had to deal with racism. In sports, the progress has been slower than the rest of society. Basketball has developed faster than the other sports in this country but football is another. Only four starting quarterbacks and five head coaches are African Americans even though over 60% of the league is black. Baseball is an even sadder story in the black community. Ten percent of the players are African American and some teams don't even have a black player, and it doesn't look like any of them will be improving soon.
