Bad News Baseball: Yuma Scorpions' American-Born Players
Displaced By Imported Colombians
I'm a baseball dad with engineering
and MBA degrees. If, as
Silicon Valley shills claim, the "best and
brightest" are
what they want in my field, then why aren't there a
ton of Japanese engineers in the U.S?
Japan
leads in several technologies and has great
universities.
Maybe it's because the Japanese
would not accept less money than they are worth and
demand instead to be highly paid.
So we are stuck with lower-paid
Third Worlders who can be easily coerced instead of
acquiring talent equal to that of Americans.
The
baseball issue has parallels. As major league
baseball franchises turn over American youth for
foreign-born players and thereby put a diminished
product on the field, they will probably see the decline
of their fan base similar to the
NBA attendance drop, created in part by its 100
percent black player rosters.
Sooner or later baseball's catering to
Caribbean players will catch up with them and
American's will stop watching.
