🔥 The Decline of American-Born Black Players in MLB 🔥 The number of American-born Black players in MLB has fallen from 19% in 1995 to about 7% today. 📉 Key factors: 🔹 Lack of Domestic Academies: The U.S. has fewer baseball academies compared to countries like the Dominican Republic. 🔹 Impact of the 1994 Crime Bill: Increased incarceration rates among African American men disrupted families, limiting support for young athletes. 🔹 Economic Barriers: High costs of playing baseball make it less accessible for many families in communities of color. In the 80s and 90s, strong community programs, visible role models, and accessible school sports made baseball a viable path for many Black youth. Today, we must reinvest in these areas to ensure that all young athletes have the opportunity to pursue their dreams. 🏆 Let’s work together to create a more inclusive and representative future for baseball! ⚾️ #MLB #Diversity #Inclusion #Baseball #Community #YouthSports #RepresentationMatters #9Innings #mlb2cfp Disclosure: https://lnkd.in/gkSdabMT

Live sports is where your viewers are at, and where you need to be advertising. Also, Caitlin Clark is a beast. #Scripps #Denver7 #ABC #LiveSports #TelevisionAdvertising

There are many different theories floating around about how this milestone was reached (some evoking a visceral reaction)...figure I'll throw my 2 points in (see what I did there?): A few of the standing theories: - Sunday vs. Monday Games - People wanting to watch a more cerebral, well executed basketball performance (Women) vs. a more athletic feats performance (Men). - Caitlin Clarks popularity Like most situations, it's likely not a matter of a single factor but a blend of many. Removing emotion from the equation allows a clearer view of the truth within the array of potential variables. That said, I wonder: 1) How NIL helped this - I imagine the possibility for athletes generate revenue has increased their game/season/team type posts. 2) Who is better at social media? I'm going to go with Women on this. Anyways it was a great 2 days for college basketball - great games, great teams, great players - can't wait until next March! What do you think? #collegebasketball #marchmadeness #nationalchampionship #nil
