Found July 31, 2008 on juicedsportsblog.com:
Sports Illustrated published an article saying there aren't enough blacks in baseball (just 8%), but there were 27% in 1975. Do they expect use to believe that there is more racism in baseball now than in 75? You know what would be a more realistic reason? That blacks have started playing basketball and football more since the 70's. Wouldn't that be good for race-relations then? More blacks in basketball and football? Even looking at SI's race-baiting agenda, why would they write an entire article on a player being young, gifted, and BLACK? That's taking away from David Price's skill, saying he's just BLACK, not talented, BLACK. In sports, you ought to pay attention to skill level, not race. Carl Crawford said that the reason blacks don't play baseball is, "You have to be able to turn on the TV and see players who look like you." Guess I've got to stop watching basketball. If we want to move forward on race relations, we have to say RACE DOESN'T MATTER. So don't tell me it's a problem that blacks don't play baseball. If it is, than we need affirmative action in basketball.
