Just because no one has done an article on the lack of whites in basketball does not mean that this article is invalid.
Right. This article is invalid because it asks a question that's suggestive of some ulterior motive, when the answer is simple and not hidden.
There are very few black college baseball players because there are very few black youth and high school baseball players. Any cursory look at youth leagues tells this tale.
A far more interesting article could have been how the lack of black players in youth ball is hurting the ability of colleges to recruit quality black baseball players. Or even better, why so few young black athletes pick up baseball at a young age.
