31、ed in the United States for a little more than one hundred years. But how did the sport come to this country? And how long has it existed in other parts of the world?

38、 president do for race relations?Obamas victory appears to have given blacks and other minorities a true national role model. For years, many looked to athletes and musicians for inspiration. As Darius Turner, an African-American high school student in Los Angeles, told The Los Angeles Times, “Kobe
39、doesnt have to be everybodys role model any more.“Recent polls also suggest that Obamas victory has given Americans new optimism about race relations.

44、pan and Barrack Obama,“ he told Londons The Times newspaper. “It will be the first time weve seen that on our television screens.
