El Senado enfrenta críticas de equidad racial al proyecto Protect College Sports

El 18 de septiembre el Senado de EE. UU. avanzó el proyecto bipartidista Protect College Sports Act pese a nuevas críticas que, según el líder de la NAACP Derrick Johnson y el senador Chris Murphy, podrían perjudicar a los atletas negros, mientras que el exjugador de baloncesto Craig Robinson defendió la legislación como una garantía de resultados educativos, según Fox News.

El proyecto, patrocinado por los senadores Ted Cruz y Maria Cantwell, ya había superado dos votaciones procedimentales en el Senado, obteniendo 77-22 votos tras suavizar las disposiciones sobre la reubicación de conferencias; previamente, el senador republicano Tommy Tuberville se había opuesto al mismo. Cruz había promocionado la iniciativa en el programa College GameDay de ESPN en Austin, donde fue recibido con abucheos del público. Las votaciones anteriores fueron reportadas por NBC Sports y otros medios.
