...first all African-American squad...

Sounds like Time.com is doing a little racial profiling here.

Makes perfect sense to me.

I was getting ready to post the same thing when I saw that one.

How many get free lunch or parents get EBT.. They need to redistribute that success to a team that lost.

Interesting bit of info, Jackie Robinson was also a great basketball player. He starred at UCLA in basketball as well as football, baseball, and track. In fact, a number of people were convinced he should have been the first black player AND would have been the first black superstar in the NBA if he had chosen that route. He actually played for a west coast athletic team called the Los Angeles Red Devils in the off season during the late forties. At 5’11, Robinson would frequently dunk in games and was a ballhandling whiz.

I wonder if they know that Jackie Robinson was a Republican.

A thousand articles about the outcomes of today's games and you chose this one to post.

South Koreans have won twice.

How many whites were on the Houston, TX team of 1966?

Probably the biggest news story in Korea right now. I haven’t looked though.

True. But the level of geographic knowledge is so low for all school kids you could show a map of the U.S. to many young adults, and I’d bet most couldn’t place ten states much less know where ten foreign countries were. Liberals have made learning dates, names, and other geographical and historical knowledge semi-obsolete. I wonder if they teach times tables for math anymore in grade schools.

And go figure with the Internet and Google and all this information so easily at our disposal, and yet people are dumber than ever.

They were never taught how to think and learn on their own.

By the way Doosan Bears defeated the Samsung Lions 5-4 according to http://www.arirang.co.kr/News/News_View.asp?nseq=167114

Yes, a great series. I’m surprised at today’s score considering the last time these two teams met.
Amazing. Real ball players regardless the race.

If an all African-American little league team wins the World Series, is it still racism?

Diversity means no non-hispanic whites allowed.
