Since that letter was read, there have been no more racial slurs from the Marsing Husky fans, at least none loud enough for the players to hear. Neto and Andy know that they and Jesse and Rigo and Johnny didn't do away with racial prejudice in their town. Many white parents still won't let their sons and daughters date Hispanics, and the two groups still don't mix much outside school. But they also know that they did what no one before them had done. "At least," says Neto, "we made it known that we wouldn't accept racism in our school or from our fans. We made a difference in the part of our lives that we really could control."
Which statement best describes how Neto has been affected by the conflict he experienced?
Neto feels frustrated because racism still exists in his community.
Neto now knows that he can make a difference if he decides to take a stand.
Neto now wants to take a stand against other forms of racism in his town.
Neto is happy that he worked with Andy, Jesse, Rigo, and Johnny.
