"When a sport becomes too concentrated with only one ethnic group"

The majority of MLB players are white Americans.

I tend to agree with her sentiment that there needs to be fewer foreigners in baseball. Some cultures just stink and shouldn’t be allowed to mix with ours.

I see the same thing at work in the semiconductor industry. The groups that I have worked in have too many foreigners. I don’t identify with them at all. I hear things like ‘you guys should get rid of 2A because we don’t need it in India’ and ‘Are you voting for Bernie?’.

Around 60% white anyhow, last time I recall checking. MLB reported in 2013 that around 28.2% of current MLB players were foreign born.

Americans have increased their percentage in the NHL, with the percentage of Canadians declining from 90% at the inception of the league to 50% today. Americans represent about 20%, with other nationalities, such as Swedes, Russians, and Czechs, making up the difference. About two thirds of NFL players are black Americans, with most of remainder being white Americans. The NBA statistics are about 76% black Americans and 20% white American. Asians and Hispanics represent a small percentage of the NBA and NFL.
