We have more options these days.

1. Most of our sports idols play basketball or football. They get WAY more respect. Where as baseball, cac's crucified Barry Bonds and you NEVER hear about players like Tony Gwinn or Rickey Henderson. Baseball players also play until they are :flabbynsick:

2. In the NFL and NBA players get their biggest contracts and make the bulk of their money when they're in their 20's. Baseball you have to wait 6 or 7 years.

3. More endorsements in the NFL and NBA.

4. Young black males have a sneaker fetish.

5. NBA and NFL is more popular than MLB and black athletes dominate the sport and are getting money so they need to stop this tomfoonery debate every time they honor Jackie Robinson.


I hate when they try to say black kids don't play baseball because it's expensive with the equipment and all. Don't nobody give a shyt about no baseball.

Jackie Robinson is probably the most respected player in baseball and he's black. There's a reason why his number is retired by every team. Everyone can come to a consensus that Barry Bonds, Willie Mays, and Hank Aaron are top 5, and they're black. Some of you fakkits need to stop bringing up race everywhere you go. :camby:

at the major league level it's such a cac stiff ass respect the game lookin ass game that it turns off Blacks..I can imagine a team full of a nikkas just showing out a fool..smoking dope in the bullpen. but of course every pitch would go to they heads and ESPN would be like "well that's part of the damn game"

Yeeeeeaa....We gonna have to talk about that one. Bonds will never ever be in that "class" of black players to fans outside of San Francisco, due to the steroid allegations, trial and not taking shyt from reporters while playing.

I'm not among those who think this way, but it is without a doubt the way most people view him.

1. how is this incorrect. And i'm not just talking about black football/basketball players.

2. This is accurate. The life cycle of NFL players is short. they make the bulk of their money in their 20's unless they play quarterback. Basketball players also get their max contracts in their 20's. Carmelo Anthony is 29 and about to get his 2nd max contract. Cano is getting his first and he's 30.

3. This is probably the only one you can argue with me on but the top athlete endorsements of NFL/NBA athlete > MLB.
4. Jordan's from the 80's are still popular. What MLB cleats are still popular. Who's going out to stores to cop cleats?
5. The NFL is king. This is fact. NBA Finals ratings >>>>>>>>>>>> World Series ratings.

Because the top 10 greatest baseball players of all time are all Black and now we are no longer a fixture in the league...It's almost like people being obsessed with Black people in Rock N Roll.. When we pioneer and dominate an industry only to get pushed towards the margins, it should raise some eyebrows..
