I’m fighting back tears of guilt as he makes 2.5 mil per year by standing out there in the yard 2 hrs at a time.

That’ll come as news to a lot of non-white players in MLB.
Maybe he should have said that baseball is a Caribbean sport.

Why is that?
Football & basketball is way more popular than baseball among black kids. That trickles up to pro sports.

Jackie Robinson would be shocked to hear that as would scores of African-Dominican players.

We don’t “need” anyone in any sport.... if those NFL bozos keep disrespecting our flag and anthem then fans should boycott, permanently.

Adam Jones is misguided.
Baseball has gone out of it’s way to not discriminate, and the 8% figure is more bogus than BILLARY’S Pneumonia, because there are easily 40% black Latino players on top of the 8% black players.

More like 15 minutes at a time x 8-9 times per day if he is in the lineup. With a 15 minute or so break in the dugout between each stint.

Yeah, all those guys from Cuba, the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico are white as lilies. Don’t forget about the guys from China, Korea and other places as well.

“Baseball is a white mans sport,”
Basketball is a black man’s sport..
Soccer is a Hispanic Man’s Sport...
What is football, and what are Asians supposed to play?

Probably Dominicans. At least two teams have their training camps in the Dominican Republic. Baseball is HUGELY popular - and people in the DR are primarily of African ancestry.
