Sociology

Reflecting on the current ideas surrounding sports and the way this documentary illustrated by HBO, it showcases the manner on the prevalence of unequal and discriminatory precepts surrounding its application prior to the entry of OJ Simpson. It portrays the attempt of African Americans to become recognized for their skills and abilities not only in the sport of football but also towards reaching out to society in general. These exploits go hand-in-hand with the cultural facets shaping during those times where the issue of race and capabilities remain a question for applicability and relevance.

Seeing this, my output in sports remains rooted not basically on race and color but on the capacity to showcase ones ability and became a vital instrument in the development of the game. The appreciation does not come from the perspective of who gets to play or whos not. Rather, it is the opportunity and capacity of the players to showcase entertainment and transcend towards creating a new dimension of enjoyment. These overall themes are not spurred by media but driven by values such as sportsmanship, discipline, and aspiration towards betterment.

With regards to the ability and capacity of todays modern players, I would have to argue that athletes nowadays provide the necessary impetus towards bringing the game to the next level. It can be seen that the numerous rosters amongst leagues nowadays not only showcase extremely talented and gifted individuals suited for the purpose of the game, they are now vital instruments in making money. This level of attention was also sensationalized by the fact that it is associated with wealth with lucrative pays coming from team owners and advertisements.

Likewise, there is also the corresponding attention given to the nature of attention as their ability becomes evident and sensationalized by the media. This relative exposure not only infuses better application in terms of capacity but also their marketability to the public in general. Thus, I do believe that the purpose of players nowadays has not only functioned to provide entertainment but becomes a viable investment among those who seek to make a fortune out of their capabilities.

Applying this case to O.J. Simpson, it can be argued that his development into fame and becoming a cultural icon came as the transition of African Americans in sports becomes increasingly apparent. His abilities considered great during his time showcased the evolution of viewers perception about the sport. The capacity to induce new dimensions to the game of football brought sensationalized heights that not only magnified the ability of one African American to rise above expectations and become an important avenue to become a vital icon representing Blacks but also to the rest of American society in general.

This in turn becomes a clear manifestation as he became the negro neutral as one of the commentators mentioned. This means that he himself became a symbol of a status that transcends to common misconceptions among African Americans. His contributions to the field of sports not only legitimizes his capacity to induce a belief of superiority but also became a primary example implying new dimensions in generating appreciation for his worth not only as an athlete but as an individual as well.

Due to this, the Simpson trial did not become a model of generating inputs about the case but became a question of whether or not his negro neutral status was indeed relevant or not. With the use of technicality concerning his case and the media hype during that time, the jury were moved and caused his acquittal. This only goes to show how the idea of prestige and fame not only became a catalyst for such actions but a necessary instrument shaping new dimensions on how to analyze and justify new outlooks related to reality.
