    ian desmond has joined the crying..

    says baseball is "failing" in helping minorities, especially children, to play and advance in the sport.

    i honestly do not understand, WHAT THE FUK do these people want? it's obvious black kids gravitate directly towards basketball, which they dominate over other races in the US. he's pointing out less than 8% black players in the league. i don't follow. are dominicans not minorities? venezuelans? do most of these kids not grow up in conditions FAR WORSE than what black kids experience here? i've heard so many stories over the years about how they can't afford gloves, bats, balls, etc. and they have to literally play with whatever they can find. sometimes rocks and sticks.

    i seriously cannot grasp what percentage of domination they feel they are owed. maybe i'm just ignorant, but he comes off as god dam fukin idiot to me. MLB has done an absurd job on a global level of bringing as many countries and races into the game as possible. who else has the diversity they do? you can find white, black, asian, dominican, venezuelan, mexican, canadian players and coaches in every organization. we even have girls who can play in the little league world series.

    They wont be happy until no whites are in professional sports. Owners of teams don't see race. They see dollars. Whether you're black, white, brown, yellow, purple, whatever, if you will make them the most money and get them into championship contention then you will get paid.

    It's pathetic at this point. Only anarchists or idiots are still listening.

    Brainwashed. They will be called racists or whatever else if they don't join the movement to tear down and destroy America.

    Wrong crusherr.......... they wont be happy until there are no whites in sports, sports management, ownership, in the movie industry, and commercials. but, by then, there will be nobody to watch, so they will still be a broke .bunch

    True. I don't think they'll ever get to that point though. They can cry all they want but it won't change ownership or management.

    What happened to wanting equality and wanting the most qualified to earn each position. Or does that only matter if its a person of color benefiting.

    My kid plays softball. I'm spending more that $1,000 per month on equipment, training, coaching, practices and tournament fees. It ain't cheap playing softball or baseball.

    He should donate his salary for the advancement of minority youth baseball.

    Let's face it Mr. Desmond would be pushing a broom somewhere if he was not in the MLB.

    Change starts with you Mr. Desmond.

    I coached t-ball and pee wee. But now they must have professional coaching. I can't teach softball pitching. We pay ex-college softball players to coach them. I have never met a man coaching girls how to pitch underhand softball. I take them to the practices because they can't drive. She throws 55 mph and she is only 11 years old.

    Hey Vern! No choice when it comes to anything regarding you. Let's count just some of the ways: 1) Worst gambler. 2) Worst credit risk. 3) Worst iq in gambling forum history. So that you might understand, means you have the lowest IQ ever 4) Worst taste in food. 5) Worst racist.

    One positive for you. If you can call it that? From reading Sbr, you are the best at being a "bbc cuck"
