How so?

The same reason that it was important that Angel Reese and Alexis Morris showed out for girls that look like them. Being a good basketball player is obviously WAY more important than anything else but to say that people don't like to cheer for athletes that look like them would be a lie. Especially if its in an area where people that look like them are the minority. Its why this board loved Jack Bech so much.

And this isn't a racist take. It goes in all directions. Its why black people stan so hard for black QBs and its why people in the Caribbean LOVE MLB players from their country more than American born players.
