  • On this episode of the Africans In Sports MY STORY we are featuring Nigerian swimmer, Philip Adejumo. Adejumo is breaking down barriers for young black Africans. From a young age, he was always reminded of the stereotype that black kids can't swim. Now an elite swimmer for Nigeria, he waves his flag to the world as a symbol that black people can in-fact swim.

    I always thought that we didn't swim competitively because there were no trucks suitable for the anatomy.

      YOU CAN'T READ?!
      IF YOU CAN'T READ THEN WHY ARE YOU PLAYING SPORTS?! I THINK THAT WOULD BE THE FIRST THING YOU NEED TO LEARN IS HOW TO READ NOW
      SINCE YOU ARE TELLING THE WORLD YOU CAN'T READ MAYBE YOU SHOULD GO READ A BOOK *RACIST TROLL
