Do sức ép thôi

In the NBA, predominantly (phần lớn, chủ yếu là) Black players (cầu thủ) play in front of predominantly non-Black fans. Using the ‘NBA bubble’, a natural experiment induced by COVID-19, we show that the performance of Black players improved significantly with the absence of fans vis-\`a-vis White players. This is consistent with Black athletes (vận động viên) being negatively affected by racial pressure (sức ép chủng tộc) from mostly non-Black audiences. We control for player, team, and game fixed-effects, and dispel (xua đuổi đi, xua tan) alternative mechanisms. Beyond hurting individual players, racial pressure causes significant economic damage to NBA teams by lowering the performance of top athletes and the quality of the game.
