How did sports influence American culture?

Answer 1

One important effect was that Jackie Robinson was the first african-american ballplayer to play Major League Baseball. His acceptance onto the Dodgers was not a pleasant one. The rest of his teammates despised him being on the team, and it was a battle Jackie had to overcome to be accepted.
