You need ballplayers to play ball...
black players are drawn to basketball because you only need 5 players...
baseball doesn’t come across go on TV..even among whites
But a really big reason is that life has become sooooooooo dangerous in the areas where many black children live....kids and their parents are afraid for them to go outside, for legitimate reasons...even to play basketball...many of the thugs take over the playgrounds and what hoops there are...
just some dipsh** could care-less author trying to make himself less irrelevant
Even basketball is going the way of the private club teams like baseball has on the youth level. Today’s typical NBA player is a lot different than the generations before. They may look the same, but today’s African-American player is more likely to have come from a middle or even upper middle class background than his predecessors did.
