Don't give me that look. So many players darker than my ass, but nikkas allegedly ain't playing the game no more. Bullshyt.

The argument ain't about nikkas, it's about Americans. Couching it as why no blacks is white supremacy.

:mjlol: this is true...if you look at it that way, there are a ton of "black" players, look at starling marte:

...I mean african american players...plus there is michael taylor out in Washington and Kris davis in Oakland

What you think Mookie is? A veteran? :dahell:


He hasn't even hit arbitration.

:patrice: not disagreeing fam, but i'm pointing out NEW cats on top of mookie betts and others

he almost won the MVP award last year, he's one of the best players in the game, fans know this - just saying that we have a dude that may win rookie of the year and a possible all star/MVP in marcus thames

Breh, Thames is 30 and was in the league for 3 years before he went to South Korea

When they say that black participation in MLB is down, they're talking about African Americans.
They aren't talking about David Ortiz.

As a fact, African Americans are not playing baseball.

Twisting this into counting some Afro Colombian or whatever as c00ning is just missing and distorting the point.

Boogie Down my city...
Maybe it will shift in the future, but honestly...I wish people stopped making th divide so large man. Pedro Martinez is the god. Best to ever do it in my opinion. He happens to be Dominican, but I've heard him say so many times how proud he is to be a black man and proud of his nappy hair. As a Black and Dominican baseball fan, he's a win win for me.

But if I answer the question correctly, I don't know. Blacks dominate basketball and football. baseball is turning into a past time for a lot of people. I find it to be one of the most exciting sports but maybe that's because I played it most of my life. Idk.

:russ::mjlol:
WTF are you talking about

:patrice: marcus thames is having a breakout year in his first year back from south korea, amir garrett is a rookie.

both are making headlines right now as standout players.

hence my thread title...not to take away anything from the african american players already in the game

that's what the fukk I'm talking about. :martin:
