Originally posted by chaney3Yes, there are some good white athletes, but many of them don't go in for a sports career after college. opting instead for business, law, medicine etc. Black players typically look upon college as a farm system for the NFL, NBA, or MLB. Not always, of course, but generally so.
The NFL is now dominated by black players. Are there no good white players?
The MLB is recruiting from Cuba and other nations. Are there no great baseball players in America?
What is happening? Why are white players not good enough?

Originally posted by vivifyagreed. But I think baseball still has the numbers in white players. I think it is just more evenly spread out among many cultures. Also, there are far more sports then the ones we have listed here. How about hockey? All white. Truthfully, it does not matter to me if they are white are not. Come Olympics, I only care if they are from the US as we all hope for our countries to do well. I also think one reason for going after other players from other countries is money. They can get almost as good, or as good, and in some cases better athletes else where, however, they are paying them less then half of what the Americans are getting. Just my humble opinion. And I live in the United States, PA

Originally posted by chaney3I could be totally wrong, but it could be a work ethic thing. Do you want to recruit a kid who's been raised to be a primadonna, or one who is hungry to work hard and prove himself?

I'm not saying that this is really happening, but I wouldn't rule it out as a possibility.
