Ryen Russillo talking race- But not how you think

Don't forget football.

Ryen has always been great at properly toeing the race debate when it comes to engaging ppl of said race. This is nothing new.

Who are you referring to as "some people?"

RIP his career

Well, he gone or demoted

It's not just that it's ok to say baseball is too white while not saying other sports are too black.

It's that it's CELEBRATED when baseball becomes less white.

The entire argument that baseball is "too white" is stupid though. Isn't half hispanic anyways? Aren't alot of those hispanics black? Guys like Manny, Pedro, Ortiz and the new cuban kid that has already flamed out are black hispanics. If they are suggesting that there isn't enough american black representation it isn't because the MLB doesn't want them. Black Americans tend to play basketball and football first and run track 3rd before even considering baseball. That is not the MLB's fault just like it isn't the NBA's fault that more white kids play soccer and baseball.

I think it's about 61% white. Tons of Hispanics. About 8% black I believe. Not entirely sure.

And exactly. It irritates me when the media acts like it's a race problem. There would be WAY more black players if black athletes chose baseball as their first sport. They just don't.

I don't think the entire argument is stupid. It's just that black youth isn't playing baseball as much as they used to and you've seen a upswing in white youth playing the game/travel leagues and such.
