With racial issues in the United States coming to the forefront in the sports world, Major League Baseball players generally have been absent from the growing chorus of athletes who have publicly spoken out about problems they may see in the United States, and Baltimore Orioles outfielder Adam Jones thinks he knows why.
"Baseball is a white man's sport," the Orioles star told USA Today.
"We already have two strikes against us already,'' Jones told the newspaper, "so you might as well not kick yourself out of the game. In football, you can't kick them out. You need those players. In baseball, they don't need us."

“We already have two strikes against us already,’’
Already and already? Are those the two strikes?
Baltimore Oreos
Well, please enlighten us as to what a “Black man’s sport” might be. All major sports originated as White man’s inventions, so if you want to participate in a Black man’s sport, you will be out of luck.
Professional sports clearly has a death wish.
Well for one, it’s baseball. Jerks only show their a$$ when people are watching!
“Baseball is a white man’s sport,” the Orioles star told USA Today.”
As evidenced by all the Latino players.

I wonder what the few blacks in ice hockey will do?
Not nearly as much as some folks may think.
Bunch of overpaid ungrateful morons. Send ‘em to Zimbabwe.
Boogieball, as in the NBA?
If by “white man’s sport”, you mean that its practitioners are more civilized - then yes Adam, you are correct.
I quit the NFL....so there.
time we provided some nice free humanitarian one-way tickets back to Kenya
Of course adam jones thinks that way being the racist POS that he is. Go hop a lorry in france for your next trick moron.
Filthy, racist trash infesting America.
Yeah Adam Jones, you really have it bad: paid millions for playing a game. You are so oppressed. [/sarc]
As evidenced by all the Latino players.

Not to mention more than a few Asian players.
“...Black man’s sport...”
Oh how about the ancient African game of invading your neighbor’s village and enslaving every man, woman and child you can catch? Or how about the current inner city sport of “polar bear hunting” (aka: The knock out game)?
If it were not for the evil white man (European), every single black person on the planet would be running around barefoot and naked, living in straw huts with dirt floors, eating raw meat and crapping in a hole in the ground.
Maybe baseball players are smart enough to realize Communists are exploiting blacks to test down or way of life.
