MLB teams have about 2 black players and NFL teams have about 30 - it is easy to see why the NFL is more likely to have gone down the path it did.
The NBA dealt with this problem 20 years ago because of a Muslim protesting - and developed rules around anthem protocols.
There are plenty of black players in the MLB. It seems baseball players or maybe baseball organizations have more respect.

MLB says 8.5% (U.S. and Canadian born). That's an average of 2.125 players per 25-man roster.
