Quote #10
I just didn't want to see the man [Bob Foster, the black American light heavyweight champion of the world.] Why? I had begun to hate him. Since his arrival in the country, he had made various statements that infuriated many black people. Statements like: he was in South Africa only to fight, and not to engage in politics; therefore the press should stop hounding him for comments on apartheid. That he felt South Africa was not such a bad place after all, and he was thinking of someday building a vacation home here. (38.27)
Mark sees Bob Foster's decision to be apolitical as betraying blacks everywhere. Ironically, he later justifies his own decision to spurn the black boycott of white tennis during the South African Breweries' Open because it benefited him. Do you think Mark is doing the very thing he accused Foster of doing?
