[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Baseball is an expensive game to play as a child. It requires specialized field space and equipment and organization to field 2 teams to play against each other. [/b]Compare that to basketball, which really only requires a ball and hoop and can be played 1 on 1 or with full teams. Baseball hasn't been a popular urban sport in years.

Have you ridden the green line out to a game? Navy yard is like last call for white people on the trains. It's kind of funny.[/quote]

The same can be said about football and there are plenty of black football players. I think it's more about outreach. The Nats could offer low priced tickets to local high school students. [/quote]

The Nats already have $5 and $10 tickets. How much lower do they need to be?

Maybe they could stop playing so much country music--especially that damn Toby Keith "rah-rah America let's drop bombs on the brown people!" song. And making every game a military pep rally.

That said, I love baseball and put up with the shitty in-game "entertainment" and craptastic experience of interacting with surly employees and their utterly bewildering inability to produce a smooth opening day.[/quote]

Opening day was not great, but they have gotten their act together.

I love the sport.  There are so many different things to watch...on TV they usually focus on the ball, but it is fun to watch the players interactions.[/quote]
