Dog racing was introduced in the 1920s as an animal-racing sport similar to horse-racing for entertainment and sports gambling. Greyhounds are the main dog breed used in dog racing along with other sighthounds, and there are ethical arguments against the industry. There are concerns about the original practice of slaughtering rabbits to lure the dogs, treatment of the hounds, the use of animals for entertainment, and early retirement of the racing dogs.

There were quickly many animal rights and animal welfare groups advocating for ethical treatment for the hounds. This has led to many changes in the practice, such as adoption programs for retired racing dogs, regulation of the industry, and medical treatment for the hounds.

The Chicago White Sox are an American Major League Baseball team affiliated with the American League. Originally founded in 1894 as a minor league team, the Sioux City, Iowa Cornhuskers, the team moved to Chicago—and the major leagues—with the new name, The White Stockings. In 1904, the team name changed a third, and final, time to the White Sox. 

In the 1960s, potato chip companies like Crane Potato Chips sold bags of chips containing an MLB memorabilia button like this one.

Each baseball button has DECATUR, ILL. proudly stamped on the backside.
