Sport and sportsmen and women influence society in many ways from the exceptional discipline needed to be successful to the way well-regarded sporting personalities interact with each other, their fans and the general public and crucially how minority sectors in society treated in the world of sport.   How the disabled, LGBT and other races are regarded within sport appears to be variable.  The Para-Olympics and Invictus games and the increasing media prominence of these sporting displays demonstrates that the disabled are embraced, a variety of different races seem to successfully be able to take part in all sport, although it is fair to say that there are still those who are racially prejudiced but in general all races are accepted.  The one area of society that does not enjoy tolerance is the gay sector; there is a marked lack of acceptance in many sports and patchy acceptance in others.
