Re: [scifinoir2] Re: African American Football players say they won't work for Rush
It was the time frame. At the time everyone was hiring black players, and players from the Dominican Republic. There were a lot more players of color at the time on times nationally. The actual number of black players has gone down significantly. So much so that they have started inner city baseball leagues to get black kids interested in baseball again.

RE: [scifinoir2] Re: African American Football players say they won't work for Rush
The number of *American* players has gone down. IMO, baseball has been dismissed by many young men, of ALL races, as the path to sports stardom and wealth because it takes too long to become truly good enough to earn that kind of money, unless they walk in the door supernaturally gifted. Most of the great players today are Latinos from Central America, because baseball there is second only to religion.

Amen, agreed. It is *never* a good thing in the long run to have bigots in charge of our destiny. - Original Message - From: Mr. Worf hellomahog...@gmail.com To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, October 11, 2009 8:15:25 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: Re: [scifinoir2] Re: African American Football players say they won't work for Rush During Marge Schott's reign, they had the whitest team in baseball. That quote was from a white announcer that I heard make that quote back in the day. A lot of rich bigots gave to charity but it was probably more of a tax write off than generosity.

A physical blob himself, Rush secretly adores extraordinary physical specimens - and, like most racists he harbors a grudging respect for supremely gifted black people - plus he LOVES football. Marge Schott, the former owner of the Cincinnati Reds was a conservative troglodyte (and self-avowed Adolf Hitler sympathizer) but her players adored her. She doted on them like a fraternity house mother. And, for the most part, she was a good if frugal owner. Fans praised her efforts to keep ticket and concession prices low. She loved children (she was unable to have any of her own) and always allowed any child in attendance before a home game to come down to the playing field and run to deep center field and back. I think people are remembered for the good things they do when they're gone, Reds shortstop Barry Larkin said. Now that she's gone, they will remember the parties she had to raise money for kids, her involvement with the zoo, her giving to minority programs. She gave to minority programs before her racist comments came out. I, personally, think Fat Rush would be a Mark Cuban type of owner - lavishing luxuries on his overpaid athletic employees - while continuing to spew his racist blather on the radio. And why shouldn't a shameless rodeo clown follow a gold digging showgirl as owner of the St. Louis Rams. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your point of view), Rush would inevitably say something stupid that would get him banned (in the way Schott was banned from running her own team from 1996 through 1998 - she sold the team for a $54 million profit in 1999) from the NFL - which is why his bid may not be approved. ~rave! --- In scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com , Mr. Worf hellomahog...@... wrote: Remember that woman that used to own the Reds back in the late 80s early 90s? That was a similar situation. She was just about as bad as rush. I agree with Daryle on the importance of ownership. There should be more teams with black owners. Carmello should buy a couple.

This, friends, is why it's important to focus on ownership instead of being an employee all the time.
