ESPN's Howard Bryant (in photograph) claims that if Robinson was still alive today, "He would be facing the same sort of vitriol that Colin Kaepernick is facing today."

Baloney. Jackie Robinson wanted to play ball. Kaepernick obviously doesn't - he (or rather his handlers - Kaepernick is obviously a tool) just wants to use football to peddle his left-wing views.

the NHL is anti-American as too many of it players come from Russia and Nordic Countries.

Successful Baseball requires brains and patience, and the ability to work together as a team. It's not a sport for “hot dogs”.

Senior editor eh? No wonder the network is dying. A genius like this hates math.

What do we expect from a cultish hatred of facts? They resist the truth that there are TWO SEXES that are in fact distinguishable. They hate the idea that TRUTH is discernable. The idea of Creator being evident in the world is abhorrent to them.

My statistical analysis is that it’s very likely that Howard Bryant has an IQ under 85.

ESPN's Howard Bryant (in photograph) claims that if Robinson was still alive today, "He would be facing the same sort of vitriol that Colin Kaepernick is facing today."

Not in any way true. Jackie Robinson was a proud American, a World War II Veteran, an intelligent, thoughtful, well-spoken man, and someone devoted to improving race relations in this country and not just throwing gasoline on fires. He would never have engaged in the sort of disrespectful behavior seen in Kaepernick.

Indeed, Branch Rickey chose him specifically because he would NOT engage in controversial theatrics.

So, "statistical analysis" is racist toward blacks but benefits Hispanics and Asians? MLB is, by far, the most racial diverse sport.

The reason there are fewer blacks in baseball is because black athletes prefer football and basketball.

[NohSpinZone]

Sooooooooooo, black people can’t do basic arithmetic, Mr. Bryant?

“He would be facing the same sort of vitriol that Colin Kaepernick is facing today.”

Jackie Robinson was an officer in the US Army. What did that POS Kaepernick ever do for his country except $hit on it?

So Hank Aaron is to be stricken from the record books?

“There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.”

This guy is 100& chock-full of bovine excrement.

And he appears to think black men are stupid.

Go ahead, Bryant, bite the hand that feeds you. People will leave sports and not come back.

[A_Former_Democrat]

Just under 8 percent of major leaguers last season were black,

Well, blacks are only 12 percent of the population, so what’s the problem?

And how many Dominicans have black blood?

I’d say most, as well as Cubans and Venezuelans

“How to Lie with ‘Statistics’” by Howard Bryant . . WITF he is

[Amberdawn]

I’m sure that Bryant, the racist, will focus next on the dearth of white players in Basketball...

[Sam Clements]

We’re starting to get a little silly here.

[DoughtyOne]

This sort of nonsense just reveals the destroyers are still hard at work.

If people don’t start getting their bell rung for stuff like this, it will only get worse.

[EdnaMode]

Numbers are racist!

[USFRIENDINVICTORIA]

“You’re always going to be talking about the black body over the black brain. The black body produces. The black brain does not get a lot of opportunities in sports.”

While most of the “brains” in sports (say, the stats nerds) make 6 figures, or less — most of the “bodies” make 7 or 8 figures.

Brains grind away in obscurity, in back offices; while bodies bask in all the glories of fame and fortune.

Typical leftwing ESPN racist...
