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.

Why count only US and Canadian born black players? Maybe because US players are spoiled brats and those from other countries appreciate the freedoms and opportunities afforded to them in this country?
