the lack of black MLB players is a whole different issue, but part of it definitely is the money. the opportunity to get big money in MLB isn't the same as the NBA or the NFL. if you're a young athlete with options and you could maybe choose to focus on baseball or basketball, basketball is probably going to win out in that situation. there's obviously other nuances to the whole thing but money is indeed a big part of it.

again, I do realize that there's more to it than that and I don't think that money is all of the motivation but it is a very important factor. since you brought up the MLB ... I don't think it's a coincidence at all that the shift away from the MLB and toward the NBA/NFL for black athletes occurred around the same time as the money in the latter sports started to really blow up.
