“It lets us know there’s obviously a lot of work to be done to create opportunities for Black kids to pursue their dream at the highest level,” he said.“
That’s an illogical deduction. There are many black MLB players from countries with much less “opportunity” than exists in the US.
There nothing holding back any black kid who wants to play baseball. But I do think there is an attitude now in the black community that baseball is “too white” or “too Latin”.
:: ...there’s obviously a lot of work to be done to create opportunities for Black kids... ::
Equality of outcomes will be the rule.
MLB will lower their advancement standards for US-born blacks and start fast tracking players of marginal ability through the minor leagues.
All just to satisfy the New York Times.
