Sports Take: Sports should be more conscious of colorblind fans

By Michael Haag | Sports Writer

I happen to be someone who suffers from what is called red-green color deficiency. This deficiency makes it difficult to differentiate certain colors, often greens, reds and shades of purple. As an avid sports fan growing up, watching games was usually no problem, as both teams wore jerseys with no similarities in contrast. However, there have been times over the years where a dark-on-dark jersey matchup occurs, making it a nightmare to watch as a color-deficient viewer. Many other people suffer from this, causing me to believe that there should be no way a game is allowed to be played if both teams have dark or white sets only.
