For those who say this is a racially charged question, you couldn't be more wrong.  I do NOT promote my children watching baseball, but I do encourage my children to play baseball.  I do not promote my children to watch football or basketball either for the same reason as I do not want them watching baseball.  My children are white.  I do not want them to patronize any sport or activity which is predominately ranked with a disproportionate percentage of an ethnic profile.  It sends a sad message to my kids that they have to be black or Latino to play sports, and I do not want them to feel discouraged.

Why are sports so highly ranked with blacks and Latinos.  One reason, affirmative action programs.  College Football and Basketball scholarships favor blacks.  If you cannot play college sports, you probably will have to do something else with your life.  Anyone who says blacks are simply better athletes is a racist.  Blacks have no superior genetic code which makes them better athletes.  Sports is simply promoted highly among blacks.  Whites study other things.  For every black athlete who makes it to the pros, scores find themselves without a degree, without skills, and working for the city sanitation department somewhere.

Latinos in baseball.  Latinos seem to have really dominated the sport.  Where do they come from?  Again,. you have athletes from their home countries entering the US with the intent of playing for a pro team.  Visa expires and they stay anyway.  They have learned they can get around the law.  It's like there are too many Muslims here as doctors now.  Too many Asian engineers.  These people come or a visa is arranged for them so that BIG MONEY can be immediately satisfied with ready talent or skills in the name of becoming nationally or globally competitive, instead of investing in our own natural born citizens to prepare them to be pro athletes, engineers, doctors, etc.

It is easy to just bring in a whole talent pool from another country instead of investing to prepare and promote our own, and then when the ranks get brown with Latinos, to say that it must be because they are better athletes.

We've heard the bullshit for years from big business how important it is to remain competitive in a global economy.  They have set up the system to cut corners, skip steps, and forget about we US citizens who have a vested interest in this country.
