My topic is about why African Americans dominate certain sports like basketball, football, baseball, and track and field events.  This is a controversial topic because whenever America talks about it we seem to get into trouble by either getting fired or forced to resign.

This photo to the left is of Jackie Robinson who was the first black professional baseball player.  He played for the Dodgers and changed the whole perspective of sports, as now 30 percent of baseball players are African Americans.
