Nice post. I am not able to read the whole article here but am just going off the excerpt. It seems like what the author is expecting as far as a direct action plan to address systemic racism in MLB isn't realistic/doesn't have much precedence in sports. Does the article have detail about what the MLB should be doing instead? On the surface, this feels a lot like the "disorganization" critiques of the Occupy movement. I'd love to be educated/proven wrong ...the article is free for everyone who signs up for basic membership at Baseball Prospectus. Another good excerpt from the article: [tweet]
[/tweet] I think expecting MLB to reform itself is a losing bet. IMO, there will have to be some type of an organized revolt among nonwhite players. But, given these guys are always worried about staying in the league, that's going to be a difficult proposition. The example is Kap in football (out of football), must be weighing heavily on them all.
