Explanation:

Phillip Hoose It's Our World, Too!: Young People Who Are Making a Difference is a book based on the numerous true stories of young people's acts to bring about change in the world in different aspects. The particular passage is about Neto and his team who were subjected to racial discrimination because of their Hispanic culture.

In the passage, the protagonist Neto and some of his friends from the team were seen heading to the coach's office and handed him their uniforms and pads. They decided to quit the team, hoping that their coach will understand. But he only told them that "the fans would call [them] losers and quitters instead of respecting [them]". Neto simply states that "now there was no turning back", then they left the office.  In the hope to stand up against the racial discrimination against them, they decided to quit the team to make their voice heard.

Thus, the whole passage tells about when Neto and his friends quit the team and how their coach reacted to the decision.  

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
