Abstract

Responding to media celebrations on the 50th anniversary of Jackie Robinson’s breaking of the color barrier in Major League Baseball that portray America’s battle for racial justice having been won, this article posits putting racially diverse sport stars on a pedestal misleading. This goes on to ask and explain what sports represent in a democratic society and how Tiger Woods forces us to ask the ‘race’ question. Finally, the article discusses multiracialism and LatCrit scholarship.
