Racial diversity?

Silly me.

I thought folks were hired for talent.

But then again, after watching the Obamaloon for two years...obviously not.

I think society and Major League Baseball has a duty to immediately go on the street and sign any and all black men, women or children to major league contracts until that number is in line to what society and social justice demands. They also need to make sure their quota of 57 year old Slovenian shortstops is also met.

And how about the NBA? I’d say 9% of the players there are whiteys. Are these race pimps calling them out too?

The percentage of black players in the major leagues dropped again on Opening Day this year even as the sport again received a top overall grade for racial diversity.

Do they keep the same statistics in basketball?

Blacks are 20% of the population. How come there are so many black players?

I’ll care when they care white players in the NFL and NBA are terribly under-represented.

Color quota arguments are so stupid and ridiculous.

BS. There are plenty of black Hispanic players in baseball. And since when do we have racial quotas? The NBA and NFL are overwhelmingly black and the NHL is overwhelmingly white. So what’s the problem?

Embarassing that this Liberal is at my alma mater

Even sadder is that the Institute he works for is started and funded by Rich DeVos....Amway owner who is also a major contributor to the GOP

As for the lack of blacks in baseball.....there sure are a lot of Hispanic and mixed race blacks in b-ball.

American blacks play other sports now.

Personally, like ALL sports fans, I could care less what color the skin of the ball players on my favorite teams are just as long as they WIN.

For the record, pinstripes, Orange and pewter and black are the only colors are care for anyway.

“Less than 9 percent of players black”

Could have fooled me.Oh,well, basketball will more than compensate for baseball not meeting its diversity number.

Simple, baseball is not played in the ‘hood these days.
Plus, who will teach the boys to catch, their grandmothers?
