[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's a whole conversation that's been going on in the sports world about how Black people dont play baseball.  Adam Jones is one of few.  I became aware of the ongoing convo during the Kaepernick take-a-knee thing...and how it wasn't relevant in the baseball world.

OP, if this is something that you are *really* interested in, all you have to do is google "why dont black people play baseball".  The first URL was this espn article from a few years ago http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/9186117/why-african-americans-play-pro-baseball

Yes, it's just cringe inducing to me to see the lack of diversity in the attendees.  It should make everyone feel ashamed.[/quote]

Why?[/quote]

And who is "everyone"?

As someone else posted, Nats baseball is one of the cheapest professional sports games to attend in the DC area. Certainly cheaper than basketball, football, or hockey.  If money is the issue then I'd expect to see more less-affluent folks of whatever color at minor league games -- I don't know if that's the case.

As for "outreach" to minority communities -- isn't this done already?  There is Nats advertising all over the city -- on buses, inside subway stations, in newspapers, and on the radio.[/quote]
