Blacks don't play baseball for the most part and that will never be an inner city game. Same with hockey.
Rugby? Track? Those pay well?

I never said it wouldn't affect the sport. I said it wouldn't be as noticeable to most idiot casual fans. I also said that many couldn't just jump to another sport like y'all are saying. It takes years.

You actually think great players would still play football over basketball if they had no chance to make a large amount of money?
Pish posh. They would play college football for the glory then go shovel coal or be a train porter after college.

That's like saying the average idiot fan can't tell the difference if they're watching men's basketball vs women's basketball. The difference in talent would be very noticeable.

Some of those sports take serious money for most to get good at(mma,boxing,baseball). Not an option for kids from the hood.

It wouldn't be an over night shift. It would be gradual over years and years. It would be like watching sec game over south land game.

Yes?

Boxing the very definition of a hood sport in many ways.

I'm not sure if you are aware but those three sports require serious money or help(you can use my gym for free and ill train you for free):

OP is an idiot.

Boxing requires years and years to get good at. Trainers, gyms, coaches.

Just wanted to make sure it wasn't a typo.
No reason to continue if you think those three sports require "serious money."
Arguing with an idiot.

Yet go to any hood area and you will find a bunch of boxing gyms. A lot of great boxers came from the absolute hood.
They have all suffered as a result of boxing's overall decline, but hood kids would flock there if the NFL disappeared.

If an athlete is playing any of those sports for the money, they'd be better off taking a football scholarship, getting a real major, and then getting a good job after graduation - they will already have good alumni connections.
