1. Kang is bringing out the idea that people support the people that are from the same country or race as themselves. Kang states that himself and Ichiro are both Asian. Sports, like baseball, have a way of bringing races together.
2. Evaluation: The essay effectively argues that the integration of other cultures into American sports creates both a segregation of races and a union of different races. At times Kang seems to contradict himself in the essay because he points out a lot of different effects race has on American sports. But overall, all of his points are clearly illustrated in the text.
3. If I were to write a paper on the topic of the view on baseball as an American sport, this article would help me to point out how baseball over the years and by gaining immigrant players has remained a very "American" tradition, but it has also changed to be more accepting of a more diverse mixture of players.
