Like baseball? Pick up a glove or go see a game.

Don't like it? Stay home.

All this navel gazing racial nose counting is getting really boring.

Especially when directed at one particular sport but not at another.

Good point. Rather than navel gazing about the decline of black ballplayers, we should be happy that there is no discrimination any more. Best players get to play. If there are not as many black ballplayers in the pipeline to the major leagues as in previous decades, it is not due to discrimination.

Nobody would ever navel gaze about the sharp decline of white American born players in the NBA, would they?

Most of the navel gazing is really just about revenue. When a sport loses an entire demographic they see money going away, and “why don’t they like us anymore” is a valid question to ask.
