Slate: Baseball is still too white
My love of baseball comes from summers spent in Idabel, Oklahoma, with my grandfather. We would throw the ball back and forth as he told me stories of traveling hours to see Willard Brown and Satchel Paige play for the Kansas City Monarchs. My grandfather told me that the style of play in the Negro Leagues was much different from that in the all-white majors. Paige, a slender 6-foot-4, would lift his front leg high into the sky, delay his windup for a split second, and then throw the ball with incredible velocity and pinpoint accuracy. He was also known for calling in his outfielders and telling his infielders to sit down before striking out the side.
Speaking to the Kansas City Star, Negro Leagues Baseball Museum president Bob Kendrick lamented that “part of what kept Satchel Paige out of the big leagues so long was he was too charismatic of a player.” Only inhabiting a black body could keep a man with so much talent as Paige traveling what he called the “peanut circuit.” This weekend will mark the 70th anniversary of Jackie Robinson integrating Major League Baseball. It is an important event that should be celebrated, but we should do so critically—for while baseball’s powers that be allowed black bodies into the sport, they were not as welcoming to black culture. Black culture is American culture, and the flamboyance of players in the Negro Leagues was a major part of why that great American institution was so beloved. Unfortunately, as black athletes integrated baseball, major-league players and fans did not embrace much of what made the Negro Leagues unique. Many teams, for instance, warmed up by miming baseball moves with great flamboyance, a practice known as playing “shadow ball.” Players in the Negro Leagues wowed the crowds with their convincing reactions to balls that were, in fact, not there. But when they made it to the majors, shadow ball ceased to exist. As William Rhoden noted in the New York Times in 2014, Robinson didn’t leave the style of the Negro Leagues behind when he joined the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947. His “speed and daring,” particularly his steals of home, were a trademark of black baseball. “At that time, [white] baseball was a base-to base thing,” Negro Leagues legend Buck O’Neil said in an interview for Ken Burns’ documentary Baseball . “But in our baseball … if you walked, you stole second … you actually scored runs without a hit.” Robinson’s aggression on the base paths infuriated his opponents, particularly the white ones. Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Russ Meyer, annoyed at watching Robinson dance off third base, yelled, “Go ahead you nigger, try to steal.” Robinson did try. He was safe at home. "Negro League players threatened the established racial order,” Mark Anthony Neal, a professor of African and African American studies at Duke University, told me recently, “not only in terms of taking actual jobs from white ballplayers but in developing a style of play that would transform how the game was played.” I ----- snip ----- read full article at source: http://www.slate.com/articles/sports...n_s_sport.html |

Baseball will always be my favorite game, so leave muds
If the niggers don't like the fact baseball is still somewhat of a gentleman's game that requires you to act like a civilized human rather than some circus clown or retard, then they need to go play basketball or football. Those sports actually encourage the nigger to come out of niggers.
As for the spics, go play soccer. Same thing there. |

Sports is one of teh kikes main tools in race defiling and nation wrecking.
I dont follow baseball, baskett, or amerikwan handegg.. but jews are doing the same thing with Football and Hockey. Every league in Europe must import useless, no talent niggers instead of developing and promoting White talent Thats why jews hate seeing White teams win the World Cup or Euro, it exposes the lie that niggers are good at sports,, they aint!!! Look at Tennis, 3 White men dominate.. so the jew media focuses ion the steroid using Willimas shemales. As for Football, the past decade was dominated by predominantly White teams like RealMadrid, FC Barcelona and Spain.. while individually White men like Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi have owned every record and award.. |

perfect timing for this topic.. not baseball but kike owners get their kuntz all kvetchy about a White player who ruins their sportsball agenda by even being in the NBA..
his career in NBA is done, but plenty of money leagues in Europa and even better $$$ in China. Miami Heat center Meyers Leonard “will be away from the team indefinitely” after he said an anti-Semitic slur while streaming himself playing a video game on Twitch, https://www.cbsnews.com/news/meyers-...viewing-video/ |

In Europe, there is resistance to this. As I have shown in other threads, European football (or "soccer") fans wave NS and Fascist flags during the games, they display "racist" and "antisemitic" banners, they throw bananas at negro players, etc. This difference between the US and Europe is striking. |

I've been calling major league baseball "Mexican League Baseball" for a long time.
