In this chapter, I want to take deeper look on the view of the African American athletes. Even, many people disapproved with African athletes. However, Owen and Louise go through this hardship. There was Owens and Louis. Louise was a heavy weight champion in the world and known as the best athletes ever. Owens was a track star. Once Owen said “ I always loved running - it was something you could do by yourself and under your own power. You could go to any direction, fast or slow as you wanted” ( Zirin 74). Louis was boxer. This shows his love for running and appreciation for his talent. He was very good at it.He won lots of Gold medal as well. Owen almost don’t run in the olympic because of lots of haters and lots of racial discrimination
