Read the excerpt from It's Our World, Too!: Young
People Who Are Making a Difference.
Soon there was even worse news for Neto and Jesse.
Most of the players who had voted not to play had
suddenly changed their minds. Even the Hispanic
players. They could barely look at Neto and Jesse as
they explained that they loved football too much to give it
up. In the end, only four players-Jesse, Neto, Rigo
Delgudillo, and Johnny Garcia-were committed to
staying off the field.
The more Neto thought about it, the more determined he
became. "I knew we were right," he recalls. "I didn't care
what anybody else thought. And I also knew the team
couldn't afford to lose me. If the school really wanted me,
the fans had to stop saying those things. Only then
would I play. Not until."
