Diversity

in Sports

By Jonah Pereyra, Human Resources and Administration

As defined in the Miriam Webster Dictionary, diversity is the
condition of having or being composed of differing elements
and the inclusion of different types of people such as people of
different races or cultures. Sports, on the other hand, is defined
as an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an

individual or team competes against another or others for
entertainment. With the definition given, it shows that diversity
exists in sports, regardless of gender, age, physical appearance
and cultural background.
