have you seen how many blacks are in management in MLB? how about ownership?

he's absolutely correct.

during the 60s thru 80s when Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Reggie Jackson, Rickey Henderson, and other great black superstars the percentage of blacks in MLB was up to 27%.

the reason why it has declined is because of the way the sport works at the youth level. you won't see many low income ball players in little league, especially at the elite level. this is why Jackie Robinson Chicago team was such a big story at the LLWS a few years ago.

baseball has turned into a middle to upper class sport in america. a polar opposite to what is happening the latin baseball nations like the dominican republic.

too add to my statement.

the popularity of NFL and NBA has skyrocketed since the 70s, when blacks in MLB peaked.

meaning less overall interest to the sport.

29 out of 30 NBA owners are white lol
Almost all league executives are white. They still hold the power structure in the league.
So either you didn't read what Adam Jones said at all, or you're just really ignorant

rune

I was saying that I don't see white PLAYERS complaining there aren't enough white PLAYERS in the NBA

I don't see how 29 white NBA owners is relevant to my statement
