Is the NBA the most glaring and egregious example of cultural appropriation?

Isn't it "dey" and "jeeeeerbs"?

It's definitely an example of racism. The league is 90% black. They're obviously discriminating against whites.

I think keeping our money in Banks has been cultural appropriation of Jewish culture. Not that they are complaining.

I'm always amused when media members talk about the "need" for MLB to reach out to inner city kids. Why is there a need? Is there a need for 90% black leagues like the NBA and NFL to reach out and have more white players?

Back when Jewish ball-handlers ruled the court, they used to say every Jewish kid was born with a basketball in his hand. How times change.

The Jews are too busy working and being successful to complain about it.

The strange thing is they act like black kids from islands/Central America coming from FAR worse situations don't matter. Arroldis Chapman yoenis cespodes and David Ortiz are three of the biggest stars. Chapman is from frigging Cuba and friggin risked his life to be here. I could keep going on but it's unnecessary. It's just strange. It's not like there is an outreach from the NFL to asians. I think in the near future things may change with inner city kids given a bunch of young African American talent but it's not the end of the world if they aren't interested in baseball. They aren't as a general rule interested in lacrosse either. I'm not interested in hockey, volley ball, soccer or track.

Hockey is just a job. Just because I'm good at it doesn't make it my passion

Forget how many black players are in the league, not enough get the chance to be coaches so teams are forced to interview less quality coaches just to fill a quota
