Therefore lack of fathers or price of equipment is meaningless if a kid really, truly wants to play a sport.
True, but it may have some secondary impact on participation numbers. If a kid never has someone introduce him to baseball until he's ten or twelve, I imagine he's less likely to be involved later in life.
Also, baseball parents are nuts. I'll introduce it to my kids but I won't shed a tear if they don't like it.
And don't get me started on soccer ...

Oh this is 100% true. But I can only speak from my experience, and the many black friends I have with active fathers in their lives played basketball, sometimes football, with them growing up in the backyard instead of baseball. So when they have kids obviously the cycle will continue. In the black community, basketball is an easy #1 among the youngsters AND the older generations. Football is creeping up though.
