we are globalists now. America can get its blacks from other places.
That’s only because Michael Brantley is on the DL.
The AP and its ilk harp on race because they are racists.
AP, now do the NBA.
I’d like Corn Pop’s take on this.
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!’

Gosh darn those latins and non-American born Black players.
Don’t they know diversity means… ah never mind.
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?
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”
On those great Dodger teams in the ‘70s, the best hitter was Reggie Smith. On the Yankees it was Reggie Jackson and Willie Randolph. On the Padres it was Dave Winfield. On the Reds it was George Foster and Joe Morgan. One of the Phillies’ best was Gary Maddox (just don’t ask him about the ‘78 playoffs), the Red Sox had Jim Rice and Dwight Evans, the Astros had Bob Watson, the A’s had Rickey Henderson, the Brewers had Cecil Cooper and the Twins had Rod Carew.
These are just the superstars. no shortage of not-quite-superstars who were still notable like Dusty Baker, George Scott, Mickey Rivers, Manny Mota, Paul Blair.
These guys played some of the best baseball ever. I miss that era, and players like them. And outside of a few showboats like Willie Montanez and Reggie Jackson, not a whole lot of attitude problems.
so what.
Blacks are completely over-represented on basketball and football teams. Where is the moral outrage of this major racial disparity, let us all demand 67% white players there.
MLB Channel was showing Game 5 of the 1980 NLCS between the Phillies and Astros. Besides the hideous uniforms, perms, and porno mustaches, one of the most noticeable things is both teams fielding African-American players including some of the greats mentioned earlier. The game itself was much more exciting with players actually trying to hit base hits not the binary strike out or home run.
The rosters back then was much more multiethnic. Now it is Caribbeans and whites.
It was great to listen to Howard Cosell and Keith Jackson in the booth.
Well Jeeze, cancel the series then... Hurry!
