Speaking of Sport, How Lucky is Johnny Manziel?
The day he is fired by the worst team in the league, he gets an endorsement from Trump... Verry Exciting... Terrific...
LOL
Competitive sports are frowned upon in the US these days because the “Everyone’s a Winner!” nonsense can’t exist in situations where some kids naturally excel and others don’t.
Yeah. This is really at the top of my list of issues. /s
Sorry, man. This post is intended to discredit her endorsement of Trump and you were only too happy to get sucked into the exchange.
She’s 91, so may have dementia coming on. Fits well with Trump who, unfortunately, has no such excuse.
Trump was scouted by the Phillies and Red Sox in high school but turned them down because he wanted to do bigger things. I wonder if he will add commentary to this.
I used to have a kid in little league. Trust me, foreign born players in the Major leagues aren't the reason he's no longer playing organized baseball.
Juan Marichal, Roberto Clemente, Julian Javier, Luis Aparicio, and on and on and on.....
How about an original source that contain a quote. TIA
While the idea in its pure form seems ridiculous, she does have a few points that need some consideration.
When a sport becomes too concentrated with only one ethnic group, it does reduce the overall interest in the players and the sport. with professional sports, it can reduce attendance at the games.
A few instances: Tennis - aside from the Williams girls, the USA has not produced any top notch players in at least a decade. American interest is down which further lowers the number of young people training in a sport.
Another example - the NBA is mostly black kids from the inner cities, and since they are great players, it is fun to watch them - until it gets boring as they all seem to become a blur as they play so fast and are mostly hot dogging it - interest wans among many fans.
I think Phyllis Schlafly is incorrect in banning foreign players - but her observation does have some legitimacy.
If foreign players were banned from US teams, would American players be allowed on the Blue Jays?
WTF? LOL.
I think the author has cause and effect mixed up here. I have had several conversations with coaches and scouts in baseball about this very subject, and I'll give you the two biggest factors that every one of them cited for the decline in baseball participation among American kids:
1. football
2. basketball
This isn't even a recent trend, by the way. There was a time when the best American high school athletes chose baseball as their primary sport. Everyone I've spoken with pretty much agrees that this ended as far back as the early 1970s. It took a while for the changing demographics of baseball to reflect this, but by the late 1980s the influx of Latin Americans was obvious.
This rant on Baseball is some of the silliest shit I ever heard.
And I'm a Trump supporter.
>> It is time to cut off visas for foreign baseball players, and return our National Pastime to Americans.
God forbid we support a National Pastime to Americans.
Competitive imports must be subjected to domestic productivity/quality, and not be valued on cost disparity alone (i.e., greed.)
