Explanation:

The topic of diversity, especially of national diversity, in sports, in the United States, has become a really important one. Regardless of the sport that we look at, one thing that can be said is that the amount of foreign players, from different countries of origin, has increased quite a bit. One sport that is reknown for having opened up its doors to foreign players, from countries different to the U.S, is basketball. Statistics show that since 2003, at least, the NBA, the U.S., basketball professional league, has opened up its teams to foreign representation, and as of 2009-2010, there had been recorded at least 83 players from 36 different nationalities.
