Shams Black

Does anyone else think that Jackie Robinson day is hypocritical?
With no disrespect to Mr. Robinson, I think this day is a sham. I have nothing against blacks, I really don’t care what color anyones skin is – which is why this day is a complete paradox – everyones promoting equality and diversity, while the main theme of the day was to point out that blacks and whites are so different, and how blacks are declining in the MLB. Who really cares what color of skin someone has, I definately don’t need a day to remind me of it. I think it was heroic that Jackie broke the color barrier, but really…isn’t the point of the day to celebrate equality – not be constantly told that blacks are somehow different than whites. The ESPN broadcast just said to me “It’s time everyone stop being racist and be colorblind…..now this is how different blacks are!”
Just another way for baseball to compete with the NBA/ NFL marketing. They mentioned on the national telecast last night about getting kids to the game, but no one is doing that.
OK, you have an African American kid who lives in the inner city and wants to go to the ball game. I will use a Yankee/ Mets game as an example:
1- Bleacher seat (450 ft. away from the action) $25
2- Concessions (Hot Dog & Soda) $15
3- Transportation (NYC Transit) $4
Ok, it would cost an inner city kid $50 to go to the game.
Little Leagues are non-existent, and I don’t see Joe Morgan coming down into the inner city to promote baseball.
So yes, the fact that we had a big celebration to honor a man who played ball through a time when the color of your skin mattered seems insufficient. Does color still matter today…….unfortunately sometimes.
Why didn’t the Dodgers fill the stadium with kids who can’t afford or who have never been to a game.
MONEY is the biggest reason why you can’t get these kids involved in baseball.
For example, when I was a kid growing up in Brooklyn, there were many parks to play baseball in without being harrassed for a permit to use a field. Or the same parks now have closed gates because it is only for permit/ High School use.
To play football or basketball, all I need is a ball. to play baseball….well I won’t go there. An inner city kid can’t go to a store and buy a bat without spending at least $40.
I can go on and on with the problems of baseball in the inner city, but I don’t have the time.
Oh yeah, and they tried to bash scouts for not going into the inner city to see kids. OK, if inner city kids aren’t playing, then why go. They have the balls to say that and they never do it themselves, hmm.
