An excerpt from the Undefeated - (YEAH Clemson!!!)
POTS & PANS: BLACK ATHLETES NOW DOMINATE WHERE THEY ONCE WERE BANNED
Alabama and Clemson teams are defined by power, speed and quickness
BY JEFF RIVERS
But no matter which team wins, Alabama of the SEC and Clemson from the ACC exemplify how big-time college football is played: The teams are defined by power, speed and quickness. And much of that power, speed and quickness – the vogue term is “athleticism” – comes from the teams’ black players.
Indeed, while I watch Monday night’s game, I’ll think of the heroic men and women who made the integration of big-time sports in the South possible. They filed the legal briefs. They marched. They prayed.
And years before black athletes integrated their fields of dreams, young black men and women faced the jeering mobs and the on-campus isolation and ostracism to integrate state colleges in Dixie.
