Racism in sport

Okay kiddo, racism in sport is when people treat others differently or unfairly based on their race or ethnicity. Just like we have different skin colors, some people also have different cultures, languages, and traditions that make them unique. However, some people think that because they look different, they are less important or less talented than others.

This is not true at all! Everyone is equal, and everyone has the same right to play and enjoy sports, no matter where they come from. Unfortunately, sometimes people can be mean and say hurtful things to others because of their race. This is called racism, and it's not okay.

Remember, sports are supposed to be fun and bring people together, no matter what their background is. It's important to always treat people with kindness and respect, and celebrate our differences instead of using them as a reason to separate us.
