According to the article baseball is the most racist sport in the world.
Has he ever looked into lacrosse, horse racing, water polo, polo, bowling, Olympic hand ball, golf, tennis, field hockey, hockey, skiing, table tennis, dog showing, cat showing, sled dog racing or swimming?
Dickey, Adam Jones, and Chris Rock believe that baseball needs blacks in the game and in the stands in order to survive.
Baseball does need more fans in the stands but does adding blacks into the mix solve the problem.
NO! A faster paced game would solve the problem. $15.00 tickets would also help as would $5.00 hot dogs, $2.00 drinks, $10.00 parking so a working family of Hispanics, whites, blacks and Asians could all take the family out for $150.00 (or a weeks worth of groceries) Instead of $300.00+.
Blacks make up about 12% of the population so would 12% be good for baseball players, basketball players, football players?
Black kids would much rather be on playground in the hood than in the sand lot where no one sees their antics and great plays.
Ask a 100 black kids what sport they would like to be a pro in and maybe one would say baseball, ask another 100 Dominican kids and they would say baseball, ask 100 little leaguers and probably 50% would say baseball.
