Description
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 positions. 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.
