I don't think it is accurate to say that they "weren't even attempting to compete as major leagues". They did everything in their power to do so.
In any event, the addition of the Negro Leagues to the MLB statistical record was announced long ago, has already happened, and Net54 doesn't have any say in it. You can continue griping about it, but its done. I for one am glad I can see stats of the Negro Leaguers in a convenient way, even if they are incomplete.

No one is disputing that many of them were great players, or that it has happened. If you want to object to discussion about things... I mean, this is a forum
