| Age limit in sports
The new NBA collective bargaining agreement states that a player must be at least 19 years old and one year removed from high school before entering the league. This raises a few questions:
1. Is this fair?
2. Some people have argued that since basketball is a predominantly black sport, this is an attempt to keep young black men away from their money longer. Is this policy racist?
3. What about sports like golf and tennis, where people compete professionally in their (sometimes early) teens?
What do you guys think about a minimum age requirement in the NBA and other sports? |
