This may have been the most fun.

His taking the field was absolutely a "moment". The entire nation stopped for it and the nation was changed because of it.
The Miracle on Ice was a nice win. It helped the country for a short period. But to that "moment" could compare to the "moment" that changed the national pastime and the nation shows how wrong you are.

Once again you display horrible logic.
Miracle on Ice was a miracle. A black man playing in the majors was inevitable - everyone knew it would happen eventually.

Once again you show your unabated and baseless arrogance.
That black man played in a country that was totally segregated. In St. Louis and other cities, Robinson couldn't eat or stay with teammates. It took another year for Truman to integrate the Army. According to this and many other sites, Robinson's playing led to Brown vs. Board of Education and much more ( http://www.crf-usa.org/black-history-month/jackie-robinson).

"Robinson handled the abuses inspired a generation of African Americans to question the doctrine of “separate but equal” and helped pave the way for the Civil Rights Movement."
There are tons of other scholarly articles about Robinson's impact on Civil Rights.
He changed America forever that day.
Miracle on Ice was a hockey game. It buoyed our spirits for a bit. It no impact on our society.
The difference between us, other than your limitless and unfounded ego, is that I talk about what did happen. You talk about what might have been.
Yep, a hockey game is really equal to helping jump-start the civil rights movement.

I feel like Texas Western winning the Natty, is a better "moment" than Jackie Robinson, which isn't really a moment at all.

There wouldn't have been Texas Western without Jackie Robinson.
The "moment" Jackie Robinson stepped on the field America changed.
Anyone speak enough Germany to understand the tenor of this commentary? Awesome moment. Could argue it was the best. But the lack of technology in the day sort of handicaps it relative to later events.
