"In today's society teens are faced with many types of profiling. One of the most popular acts of profiling is in teen sports. Teens are basically profiled for the type of sport they participate in, which the media describes as dangerous and harmful such as skateboarding. Skateboarding is one of the most popular and growing sports today but many cities are banning skateboarding from the streets and leaving skateboarders no place to skate since the public assumes that it's a great threat to the city. Society perceive skateboarders as criminals who don't go to school, do drugs, destroy property and who are a nuisance to society."
