A Mission to Change Cycling | Justin Williams & L39ION of LA

Спорт

▶︎ Watch the Full Film: www.redbull.com/int-en/films/...
Justin Williams has spent virtually his entire life in the world of competitive cycling. Growing up in Los Angeles, the 33-year-old's experience and introduction to the sport was far different from his peers who may have grown up overseas in Europe, especially when representation in the sport has been challenging.
“This documentary is the journey of me going so far beyond myself and pushing so far past what's reasonable that my season gets worse and worse and worse and worse. And even through all of that, I found a way to enjoy it.”

    @@ericmosher6969 No one wants to see legion win or prosper. I watched this video within 24 hours of it uploading. Already there were people posting hating comments. "What about the fight" "They wouldn't make it in Europe" "All they do is sandbag" It's these same comments on pretty much every video about them. People, mostly white men, always are the ones to leave negative comments. They simply don't want legion to have any recognition or praise. They have a desire to see them lose. They have a desire to poke a hole in their reputation. And that's why they run to the comments to post these passive aggressive comments that "aren't racist". Just like durianrider "coincidentally" asking if either of the Williams brothers were convicts. But, the fact that these sorts of things are said is exactly why people of color support them. The fact that they have to deal with the racism for no other reason than succeeding at what they do shows why there needs to be more diversity. The average cyclist of color would have to deal with the slick comments all day if there weren't enough people of color.

When you get people of color who join the sport and dominate their sector, it will entice other people of color to join. A large portion of that is marketing and pr. I don't know why everyone is making such a big deal out of it. On every video about Legion there are people who come to the videos specifically to leave negative comments. Their is a racist undertone to it. I don't think any other cycling figures (Norcal cycling, vegan cyclist, etc) get this much criticism.
