It's a very good point that sports have pushed along racial harmony. Sports are far more meritocratic than many other areas of society and in sports, especially team sports, how well you play the game is a lot more important than any other factor.

You spend lots of time out on the field or in the foxhole with someone and you realize that they're just like you.
