Where are all the black people?

I've found out that the "W" on the Washington Nationals baseball cap stands for "Whitey."

DC has a majority black population, but they sure didn't go to the game today. It was like a segregation-era golf club.

Don't black people watch baseball anymore?

Good crowd on hand. In comparison to Baltimore, it's a lot more white collar. RFK is a lot better ballpark than I thought it would be, even though it's really old. Few home runs, lots of doubles. I got the $10 upper level outfield seats and they were pretty good. I could have done the $7 seats and been happy too.

They really need to get the concessions sorted, on the other hand. Less Miller Light, more Foggy Bottom Ale. More sausage, less hot dogs.

Maybe they're watching the Wizards instead.

Blacks don't go to baseball anymore. I saw a blurb about it on the news the other night. A black guy was trying to start a bunch of inner city black kids playing the game in order to bring blacks back to the game. I guess not many new players are black these days either according to what was being said. Don't know why.

I didn't think of the home Wizards game going on at the same time. That must have been at least part of it.

Still, the game was pretty well attended. There was a crowd of about 35k, I guess.

I meant they save their time and money for the Wizards games, instead of attending baseball games.

I was gonna post a pic of the Wizards dance team, but after seeing the Miami Heat dance team, every other team looks amateurish in comparison.

Miami Heat dance team.

The Wizards are doing really well this year.

The are a team with a load of deep talent, and the neat thing is I bet they are the youngest team in the NBA.

In San Francisco there seems to be a racial break down between the various sports teams. The SF Giants tends to have white collar fans (mostly white & Asian) who are into the wine and cheese ethos while the Oakland A's tend to attract a black & Hispanic fan base who are more blue collar. Same sort of thing happens with the football teams too.
