                  Funny you say this, as most NBA viewers and attendees at games are WHITE.

                        I agree.

                        There are many black people in the Major Leagues, and very talented ones too. African-Americans are the minority in the United States, so naturally, when there is a league based in United States, there are not going to be as many African-Americans in the league as whites, simply because there are less African-Americans in the United States.

                        About 75% of the American population is white, and 12% of the American population is black. Last time I checked, around 11% of the MLB players where black, about 35% were Latin or Hispanic, and about 50-60% are white. This really stands to reason, as the percentage of black players in the MLB is pretty much the same as the percentage of black people in America.

                        And also, the Cardinals do have around 4 or 5 black skinned players, but only one is from the United States,
