Jackie
Jackie had very stong feelings about things. He wasn't one who would let people say rude things about him. If somebody were to say something about him while he was standing right there. Jackie would always pitch in his own opinion. He was not afraid to state his mind. When Jackie started playing ball for one of the big teams his coach told him to be quiet and to not state his mind. The coach was afraid that the racist people would think that all blacks were trouble makers. Which was not the case. Jackie had to make sure that he did not argue with the umpires or the team members.
