What are the Pros and Cons of racial quotas in sports?

Question

I need to write an argumentative essay and can only think of cons! please help!

Answer 1

Define race

Answer 2

The only 'Pro' I can think of, is that it prevents people being biased about who they let play, but the con of that is that someone more qualified might be not given a chance to let someone else in because of the quota.

Answer 3

Too much racial quotas makes you stay in the box and cannot blend with international community, just like sports under a nutshell, how fast and far can you run under the nutshell when the world we are living is not limited to a nutshell with multi-racial community and international trades. have you see a hamster runnning on the treadmill, this depicts sports on racism where only 1 colour hamster can perform to his/her limits

Answer 4

Pros

1.  Provides a good social balance in the team

2. Makes a team better able to think through solutions, when having a mixture of  experiences and backgrounds.

3.  Referees are more likely to be fair.

Cons.

1.  Quotas always cause problems, because you can not sway from the numbers.   So one or two people that may provide exactly what you want when building the team, will be left to the side because you had to go for an exact number.
