Equipment Costs
Back in my day, not Jackie's, a MLB baseball glove cost about $40, and NFL football cost about $40, and an NBA basketball cost about $100. It was much cheaper to throw the ball around in the yard than to find a basketball court or football field where we were allowed to run around and play.
Deion and Bo chose football over baseball. What was the name of that guy who chose baseball over football? Today, a good outdoor football cost about $24, a good outdoor basketball cost about $40, and a good baseball glove costs about $150. Anybody wondering why anyone would blame our society on the declining numbers of quality black baseball athletes?
