?Red October baby!
But the above article really is dishearting.
The Phils had two American born blacks play for them this year. Roman Quinn who failed to impress for the 4th or 5 th time and was released, and AAA slugger Darick Hall who supplied some much needed power when Bryce was on IR.
Disheartening?
Unless they're being omitted for racial bias, why is this news worthy? I've seen this story floating around but no claims that either club has does this intentionally for hateful reasons. This appears to be another example of the media looking to create an issue where none exists, and they know some people will swollow the bait, hook, line and sinker.
Should we go back and analyze how many Latin-born players are in the NBA Finals each year?
Hopefully, one day we will stop looking at/for skin color, stop letting the media bait us into their revenue-generating narrative(s) of exclusion, division and hate, and we'll be heartened to watch a champioship in which the best teams go toe to toe with their best players.
