Zone1 Combating racism in baseball- a tremendous idea

[Polishprince]

CNN whines about how few black guys are involved in professional baseball nowadays, but has no solutions on how to resolve this.

How about a simple solution of requiring white pitchers to get 4 strikes on black hitters while only requiring black pitchers to get only 2 strikes to take out a white batter?

I'm surprised that this idea hasn't been floated before. They have affirmative action 30 years ago in Smoky Mountain professional wrestling when African American sensation New Jack demanded it from the commissioner as reparations for thousands of years of indignity in wrestling. The black wrestlers only needed a 2 count to pin white guys, but needed a 4 count to win against African American grapplers. The fans in deep blue Kentucky didn't care for it, but New Jack called them out for being racist crackers.

Too much is made about skin color in sports. Fans will root for their team's players no matter their skin color.
