Is It Worth It?

When the Titans were getting on the bus to go to camp, coach Boone made them all sit beside someone of a different race. He then said that whoever you were sitting beside was going to be your roommate. This created a lot of tension for everyone. Roommates argued over who got which bed and the type of posters they wanted to put on the wall. A fight even broke out among the two races at one point. Although at first coach Boone's decision might not have been the best for the individual but it really helped the team come together in the end. This dilemma wouldn't be as relevant today as it was in the early 70's because people have matured a lot since then and we have laws in place to protect people and encourage inclusive environments.

  1. I agree the desicion to mix races between the buses was good. It forced the players to become less individual and realize everyone on the team is equal, something every team needs.
