East Brownsville Basketball Champs
In 2014 a Mexican indigenous basketball team ( The Triqui Kids from Oaxaca Mexico) came to Brownsville and played several exhibition games...they were well known for playing barefooted. In the early days of this city our kids also played barefooted...notice E.Brownsville team had some barefooters

Does it count as being the same when you play barefoot because you want to or because it's more confortable and if you play barefoot because, like the kids from Oaxaca, you are too poor and have no money for shoes much less for tennis and you are raise to play barefoot?
While I agree that the kids from Oaxaca were not the first (and certainly not the last) to play without proper tennis shoes, I disagree with the reasons.
You always compare the white anglo kids that lived in Brownsville in the 1960's with their poor mexican-American counterparts. If we compare the kids from Oaxaca with the mexican-Americans from Brownsville are we putting them at the same level?
