[quote=Anonymous]To me, I think it's because there are fewer ball fields in predominately AA communities and thus less opportunites for kids to get involved such as little league programs not to mention lower rate of parental involvement. But you can play on the streets, right? Like back in the glory days where kids would hit the ball and break windows from cars and homes. These days the alarm would go off and someone with a cell phone would call the police and the kids would get into all kinds of trouble. That would be the end of that. Additionally, like someone said there are more role models in basketball and football that influence the AA kids. When Ken Griffey Jr was playing he was someone who they could look up to, he had everything- the talent, charisma, and the drive. Also that swing swing he had. These days there's an absence of someone like junior to carry that flag. [/quote]
