OT: do these people look like athletes to you

[Clipper Nation]

As the USA becomes less White, it's natural that baseball interest would start to slide. It is also viewed as the Rich White kids sport (in terms of the Big 4 - football, baseball, basketball). It's a clique.

Are you re ed? Baseball is full of players from Latin America and Asia.

Are you going to come in here close to Cubby tonite & handle this, or, not?

lol MLS. Of course nobody watches that . Watching the MLS in terms of overall level would be the equivalent of watching something worse than the D-League. Champions League is where's is at.

How can povertyball lovers claim that their "sport" is growing if our league still sucks that badly?

- Those are immigrants, not first or second generation Americans. Meaning in the USA it's a White sport

- How many Mexicans, Indians (Asia), Chinese or Filipinos are playing?

I haven't claimed 'cause I don't know , tbh. But from what I've heard some Champions League games have higher ratings than MLB ones.

Great chart that shows, similar to dog breeding, professional athletes are physically specialized according to their sport:

But LOL that MLS players are shorter/skinnier by far than any other North American professional sport. Not saying they are not "athletes", but they are marathoners in cleats compared to the size of the other four pro leagues.

Still more athletic than any third-world kickball player. Not only is he a pitcher (which is impressive enough), he also played football and wrestled in high school:
