There is a catch-22 for athletes of all colors showing emotion. If they are ice cold, professional and under control-they lack passion. If they cry out, showboat, or get angry when they miss a field goal-then they are too emotional, unprofessional or lack the ability to be cool under pressure. When you throw race into the issue, then it gets much worse. The average sports fan cares more about winning than race, but that doesn't mean that there are not some unpleasant thoughts about race in professional sports.
