Starting in 1954 when Willie Mays and the New York Giants played against Larry Doby and Cleveland, every single team to reach the World Series had at least one U.S.-born Black player until the 2005 Astros did not.

That’s only because Michael Brantley is on the DL.

The AP and its ilk harp on race because they are racists.

It’s getting that way for whites in the NBA.

AP, as with the entire Leftist progressive socialist lamestream media, has yet to figure out that most Americans are growing seriously tired of all this race baiting BS.

Idiot Morgan Freeman himself said many years ago, when asked how to end racism in this country, ‘stop talking about it!’

That's like saying there are no US born white players in some NBA finals game.
The blacks had better suck it up.
No affirmative action in MLB finals.

Bizarre that there are people who obsess about things like this.

I am an Astros fan. I’m rooting for my team because Houston is my town and my ‘Stros are in the World Series. I’ve been an Astros fan for decades.

I couldn’t care less what race any of the players are. Just get it done. #TakeItBack #LevelUp

If you look for black players in MLB, expect them to be from the Caribbean nations. If you look for white players in the NBA, expect them to be from the Eastern European nations. There are exceptions in both cases, but they are exceptions.

For whatever reason, blacks just aren’t into baseball anymore. What are you going to do, force them to play?

Actually there are a lot more white players now in the NBA, from Europe.

And the player expected to be taken first in the next NBA draft is a black player, from France.

Euros are taking over the NBA.

There’s fewer American players of any color today.

Like Biden said...”you guys are going to have to start working more with Hispanics, who will make up a larger portion of the population than y’all do”
