It's simple.

Blacks are athletes and they like athletic games. Baseball players aren't athletes and baseball games are boring, especially athletically.

You're an idiot. Hitting a baseball is the most difficult task in sports. Go and ask Michael Jordan.

By your logic, Michael Jordan should have easily become a baseball superstar. Except a great athlete like Jordan wasn't good enough. Show me ONE non-athlete that can accurately and consistantly throw a baseball at nearly 100 mph, or hit a baseball that is moving at that speed. (Or even a curve ball or slider). <

I have no problem that you think baseball is boring, but it doesn't excuse your idiotic comment.

"Baseball players aren't athletes"

Yeah, right. Baseball is the one sport where a first round pick, a college all-star, will STILL ride the bus in AA and AAA ball for a few years just learning how to play at the Major League level. And even then, a lot of great prospects never make it to the bigs.

It doesn't happen in football or basketball. I suppose it's because baseball is so much easier than those "real" sports.

Yeah, it doesn't take much athletic skill to hit, with a piece of wood, a moving object that starts out flying at your head at 85 MPH and ends up 3 feet away from you below your knees. All in the space of what, 66 feet? Jeez, the average man or woman should be able to do that straight out of the womb . . .
