The boorish behavior of fatherless segregationist blacks in football and basketball and their racist back-turning on baseball -- the sport that broke barriers for blacks -- are part of what drove me back to baseball.
Then there's something you need to learn. Baseball didn't "break barriers for blacks" -- it broke barriers for itself. It had to do that or suffer further embarrassment.
Baseball Inc (MLB) likes to make all its noise about Jackie Robinson "breaking the color line" as if we're supposed to think there was, I dunno, just this line that dropped out of the frickin' sky, keeping black people out of sports, or at least out of baseball. Nobody ever mentions where that line came from. Baseball put it there.
Notice they never refer to JR as "the first black ballplayer", even though that's what we're left to think. They can't say that, because the first black ballplayer was Moses Walker, that household word from the 1880s.
Sadly that time was the start of the nadir of this country's race relations, and the "gentlemen's agreement" kept blacks out of baseball for another six decades, requiring the formation of "Negro leagues" as an outlet for all that talent that was passed over rather than commit the unthinkable act of acknowledging that black people are people.
Baseball has a shameful past. But it IS the past and that shameful period is over. Not sure what you mean by "their racist back-turning on baseball" but without crunching numbers I observe that on my hometown team at least 5 or 6 of the 8 starting position players are black, and I don't think that's atypical.
As for the OP I have to agree with SJ about the Ripple effect. He just has no idea what a real sport is.
