Seventy-five years ago, people would have to either go to a sporting event or read it in the newspaper to find out about the outcome of a baseball, football, and a basketball game, and a tennis and a boxing match.

1920 was when sporting events were brought through spark transmitters, code, and the converted telephone (microphone). In 1921, the first popular home radio receiver was produced by Westinghouse for about $60.

Sports are the first thing blacks and whites ever did together as equals. Since sports are about bringing people together, everyone can talk about the Super Bowl or the basketball season on equal terms.
