I personally couldn’t care less if there is a massive increase or decrease in the number of blacks playing baseball. Numbers don’t particularly matter. I’m more interested in the reasons why there are fewer blacks because it isn’t racism keeping them from playing baseball. I’m seeking to offer a reason why blacks choose not to play baseball.
I’m seeking to offer a reason get some blog hits.
There, fixed it for you.
You’re missing the point.
The phrase “number of blacks” itself indicates an unhealthy preoccupation with race.
Use the rule of Occam's Razor. They don't like the sport. For one thing, even when I was a kid and loved to play the sport, watching it on tv was often a chore. Basketball and football were always more exciting to watch. But basketball was just about never on tv when I was a kid back in the fifties and sixties. Now it's on every night during the season.
