US population
Black: 12.2% / White: 60.1% / Hispanic: 18.5% / Asian: 5.6% / Other ~4%
Diversity by major US sport:
NBA black 70% / white 17% / hispanic 2%
NFL black 53% / white 24% / other/mixed/non-disclosed 23%
MLB black 6% / white 60% / other 34%
If rosters are supposed to reflect the overall society, then blacks are significantly over-represented in the NBA and NFL. Should there be quotas to demand more white / hispanic / asian players?
#1 MLB is more populated by Cuban and Dominican Republic area players than from anywhere else.
#2 Add in that MLB is also more focused on bringing over Asian players
Got nothing to do with blacks at all. The baseball talent for the last few years now has been from south of Mexico
Also, the black culture has gravitated toward basketball 🏀 and football 🏈 as these leagues became more popular and financially rewarding. Also, it’s easier to organize pick up basketball and football games in the welfare system neighborhoods than baseball.⚾️
Also - "As of Opening Day [2023], MLB rosters remained among the most diverse in all of professional sports, with 40.34% of overall rosters (including the injured list, suspension and restricted lists) coming from diverse backgrounds -- a 2.34% increase from a year earlier."
After Jackie Robinson, we got great players like Mays and Aaron as well as a few who made a great impact in the leagues. As the culture changed and the NFL and NBA became more popular, the black culture, especially those trapped in the welfare system, gravitated toward these sports. It’s easier to organize pick up games for basketball 🏀 and football 🏈 than for baseball.⚾️
Woke garbage.

One has nothing to do with the other.

6% more accurately represents the real proportion of black men in the country
Because black people can't play baseball, White people, Hispanic people, and Hispanic black people are the ones who can play baseball very well.
Black people can only play basketball.

That’s a lot of acronyms.
Here’s another. GFY pedophile communist cabal.
Maybe if baseball included weapons....
Now do the NFL
