This guy is 100& chock-full of bovine excrement.
And he appears to think black men are stupid.
...100%...
“Think” you mean . . that sort of mindset isn’t “thinking”
It’s racist child’s play . .
Their Obsession Continues . . .
No wonder they’re permanently ensconced at the bottom of the socio-economic barrel
Go ahead, Bryant, bite the hand that feeds you. People will leave sports and not come back.
Just under 8 percent of major leaguers last season were black,
Well, blacks are only 12 percent of the population, so what’s the problem?
And how many Dominicans have black blood?
I’d say most, as well as Cubans and Venezuelans
“How to Lie with ‘Statistics’” by Howard Bryant . . WITF he is
I’m sure that Bryant, the racist, will focus next on the dearth of white players in Basketball...
We’re starting to get a little silly here.
This sort of nonsense just reveals the destroyers are still hard at work.
If people don’t start getting their bell rung for stuff like this, it will only get worse.
Numbers are racist!
24% of NBA is white. They need more Filipinos and Asians
Baseball hasn’t figured out a way to change the rules to favor one groups strengths over another. Jumping high comes in handy, but is not as important as covering the field and judging a balls trajectory. A strong armed pitcher is great, but it takes years of practice, and basketball is more fun for the casual athlete, so blacks play at b ball instead of grooming themselves to play baseball. That is why so few black athletes in MLB, and it really is a shame. I wonder where the base stealing outfielder like Griffey Jr, or the next Vida Blue will come from. I miss these superstar types. I really do.
Well IMHO factoring in his abilities, Willie Mays was the greatest all-around ballplayer there ever was.
I am in total agreement.
“You’re always going to be talking about the black body over the black brain. The black body produces. The black brain does not get a lot of opportunities in sports.”
While most of the “brains” in sports (say, the stats nerds) make 6 figures, or less — most of the “bodies” make 7 or 8 figures.
Brains grind away in obscurity, in back offices; while bodies bask in all the glories of fame and fortune.
Aha! So THAT’S the genius.

So, what I gathered is that the Ivy Leagues are racist. Those holier-than-thou bastions of upper-crust arrogance that think they should be dictating to the rest of us are a bunch of hood-wearing Klansmen. Barack Obama would be appalled to learn this.
It could be that college football and college basketball have greater visibility than college baseball - more so now than in the 1970’s...I recall Danny Murtaugh starting 9 black players for the Pirates.
As Glenn Hoffman said, “Pawtucket seemed like a much bigger city on the way up than it was on the way down.”
Bryant himself has presented some statistical analysis here - is he a racist?
My other question is, “Do you have to be an Ivy League grad to be a baseball General Manager these days?”
I find it hard to believe, and agree that it’s bad policy on MLB’s part if it’s actually true.
I guess Baseball is going to have to go out on the streets and kidnap Negros to play and to manage baseball. Merit is racist so it has to be de-emphasized or simply eliminated and should be because there is no such thing. Everyone is exactly llike everyone else. All differences are plots by a coterie of Conspiring White Men to keep the Negro in his place.
