HOW JACKIE ROBINSON CHANGED BASEBALL How does Paragraph 8 contribute to the development of the text? Common lit

Here is the Paragraph if you need it:

Rickey liked the potential he saw in Robinson, but he had one question. He knew Robinson would face racial discrimination and injustice if he joined the Major Leagues. Could he be “a Negro player with enough guts not to fight back?” Robinson promised that he could, and signed a contract with the Montreal Royals, the Dodgers’ top minor league team. After just one season, he transferred to the Brooklyn Dodgers.
