what a fricking joke. Just poor black people, no other races. Everyone is against the poor black kids.

"How high-priced travel ball is excluding poor blacks from the MLB"

The way the system is set up,” Stewart said, “if you’re a black kid, you’re crazy for trying to play baseball.”

There needs to be a real discussion,” L.E.A.D.’s Stewart said. “You can’t keep saying black kids don’t want to play baseball. That’s crazy. Just come out and say you don’t know how to develop them. The good news for Major League Baseball is that black people haven’t gotten to a level of offense yet to make something happen”

It excludes poor people for the most part.

i guess they finally found an angle to get a little more television time

Police, banks, schools, credit, travel ball, white Hispanics
It's amazing black folk can walk down the street unaccosted with all the enemies they have.

Funny how poor black kids from the Dominican Republic can make it to the majors. And poor black kids from the US can make it to the NFL and NBA.

Played on a travel team in Louisiana, had 3 black teammates out of the 14 of us.

And one day last summer, driving home from a tournament, his son asked, “Dad, do you think I’ll ever get to play with any black dudes?”
Maybe not in college, Darren, where the dugouts look like frat row at an SEC school.
that's so hilariously sad

ESPN is really awful anymore, top to bottom. I rarely watch anything except ball games on there.

This is bull shite. If you are good enough, they will find a way to get you to practices and games. Provide uniforms and waive the fee. But you better be good

CJ Stewart was my private hitting coach for a couple years, great guy but charged a shitload of money per hour. We had a few all black travel teams around Atlanta, and all the really good players got recruited to come play with the top teams at the complex I played out of... They got all there shite paid for and taken care of by the teams... Those all black teams still came to all the pro/college showcases and played just like we did though, and they were made up of super poor kids (even the poorer white travel teams came too)
If you are good enough you will have an opportunity, no matter how poor your family is

ESPN continues to get more and more committed to the SJW cause every week. It's time we find a different sports news outlet.

I'll say this...Like with most things in life, if you're good enough, they will find a way for you to be on a team, whether you're poor, black or whatever other perceived you have to overcome.

Has ESPN looked at the AAU circuit? Certainly don't see a problem with black kids playing in those tourneys

Seriously,
We do exist!!

Of all the reasons to hate travel ball, this is the worst.
Posted on 7/3/16 at 2:07 pm to The Pirate King
The racism aspect of this article is absurd and ridiculous. HOWEVER. One of my complaints with travel ball is the exclusion of poor people + lack of community that rec ball provided. Rec ball brought teammates from across towns, schools etc. Travel ball kills that

Basketball excludes white boys that can't jump. They need to lower the goal to 8 ft to make it "inclusive" of everyone.

Played travel AAU basketball back in the day, I was only white kid, never knew I should of been triggered
