How does Jackie not sucker punch that other coach?

Rating: 10/10 (5 February 2019)

After watching this movie, how could one not be inspired by Jackie Robinson. I could not have stood around and let the other coach throw racial slurs at me and not yell at them. My favorite line in the movie is when Jackie asks Rickey, "you want a player who doesn't have the guts to fight back?" and Rickey responds, "No,no. I want a player who has the guts not to fight back." as Rickey explains later, "Echo a curse with a curse and, uh, they'll hear only yours. Follow a blow with a blow and they'll say, 'The Negro lost his temper.' That 'The Negro does not belong.' Your enemy will be out in force... and you cannot meet him on his own low ground." During this time a black person could curse at a white person even if the white person started it. It became the black person's fault. When asked what Jackie will do if they throw at his head, his response is simple. "I'll duck." he never got angry on the field because of what people were saying about him. he screamed in the tunnel, but that doesn't count. So many black people were only allowed to play in a black only team against other black only teams. I'd seen the movie before watching it In my history through film class so I already knew what would happen. Stupid white people. Maybe I shouldn't say that because I'm white but whatever. overall a great movie, even if you have absolutely no knowledge of major league baseball.
