The players of yesterday
Posted By: James Feagin
It's uncomfortable for people to talk about, but alas it is true. The number of black players in post-Robinson major league baseball is at an all-time low, with starting pitchers in the single digits. Why? The NFL has taken over in the past 20 years in terms of popularity. Is it because it appeals to the LCD and fast-paced video game generation? According to an USA Today poll released last month, 9 out of the 10 most popular athletes are football or basketball players. Why? These are interesting questions that I think deserved to be answered without calling people Don Imus or someone else. Admittedly, Peter Chao says some pretty off the wall stuff. However, never did he once mention race or ethnicitiy, never. Others equated ghetto to black, what does that make them?
