Why is everyone so up in arms about a lack of black players in baseball?
Question:Blacks represent 10% of our country and they make up 8% of the bigs... sounds like a fair representation to me. I think it is ludacris to suggest that the best players aren't out there playing in the bigs now... not everyone is a Bo Jackson, sheesh.

I'm not really sure why this has come up all of the sudden.I'm not saying baseball is easy, cause hitting sure as hell isn't, but do you think a lot of black guys want to play a sport that showcases their athletic ability instead of standing in the outfield for 3 hrs a night? (OF is just an example)
I see what you are saying and it sounds reasonable enough. I guess the people complaining assume african americans are better at all sports then other races which is just another stereotype.

The problem is that the NBA and the NFL is that over 50% of the players are black. They say not alot of people are respecting what Jackie Robinson did for them.I watch baseball regularly and I don't think that there's a lack of African American players. In fact, I think that baseball has a great mix of minorities - African American, Hispanic, Asian. I think that there are some folks out there who spend too much time looking for racism and too little time enjoying humanity. It's a pity really, when will people learn that it's your insides that make you a great person not your color or your features.

If you are asking ," why is everyone caught up in how many black baseball players we have and things like that?," then I could answer, I think soooooo many people are still pregidice even since matin luther king died!! I honestly think this world needs to change! I don't think that it matters, black,white,chinnese,jappanese... whatever! who should care.! am white and 99% of my very best friends are black, and you know what, I don't care! I heard it's a law that { i know it's a law } that men and woman share equal rights now and being pregidice is not being equal or fair to others,so.. you might as well shut,don't go, up{shut up} cause god don't like that and might send you straight to hell!!!! I hope that is what you were asking! I also hope that i helped youHas a Pitcher ever been Intentionally walked?
I don't know, maybe we need to institute a quota. Yea, that would fix everything! We should pass over great talent in order to fulfill a social need. (puleeeez)If YOU could pitch against the Yankees?
Way up the top - first answer..
I agree with you 100% !
Blacks can run like a deer!...they're terrific in the NBA. Plus there's sweating!! They love that.
MLB has similar requirements. They chase down a ball! Steal 2nd! Go fast to beat out a ground ball, making it to first! Terrific in football!
But NHL - Hockey? Nowhere in public skating at the park. Never in the Olympic Championships. Maybe 1 or 2 in the NHL...and only stay a short time. I've often thought about that. Several professional NHL players have told me it's their ankles. They are not born with strength in that area. There's a lot of twisting and quick turning on the ankles when you rapidly skate in the NHL.

How Many Homeruns Did Babe Ruth Hit?
This topic has come up lately because of the 60th anniversary of his Jackie Robinson's first MLB game on April 15th. Some black players where saying that blacks don't appreciate what he did and arn't taking the opportunity to play. Thats at least from what i've understood it to be about by just watching a bit of ESPN and stuff.Because there are always people who always are looking to start a controversy when it comes to race. They think that because there aren't as many black players in the majors as there used to be, than baseball must be intentionally keeping black players out, which is ridiculous. The NFL and NBA are predominantly black, but do you hear anyone complaining about the lack of white players? No you don't. Sharpton and Jackson, along with their cronies will always be digging to find racism wherever they can, that's why people are up in arms about a lack of black players in baseball.

There are more "black" players in the MLB then 9% the catch is, the people making a deal, have sliced the number by only counting "African-AMERICANS" so if they are black but not from America they aren't counting them in the 9%.Where is all the complaining about the low percentage of whites in the NBA, or would that be racist?
