If you don't think race didn't have anything to do with it, think again. Race has to do with everything in this administration. Here, it probably was not an overtly conscious decision, it was just lack of interest because it was just not a black occasion.
Sorry, professional Baseball is only about 8% black and the team (Texas Rangers) with the black manager lost. Baseball is not the over 80% black player's game as is Pro-Basketball or over 65% as is Pro-Football. It is also the game where he looked like a girl throwing out a first pitch.
You didn't hear about this in big media or on the slow-witted sport's casts that are default ultra-left.
St. Louis Cardinal's Manager, Tony LaRussa, is classy, low key guy and he was just quiet about the whole thing. LaRussa even complimented Michelle Obama for her attending game one. ♘
November 4, 2011 Charlie Brennan, Brett Blume
When KMOX host Charlie Brennan asked now-retired St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa how the traditional call of congratulations from the White House went, La Russa suddenly realized that…it never happened.
“That’s a good point, I hadn’t really even thought about that,” replied a surprised-sounding La Russa, who can be forgiven for having a few other things on his mind over the past week. “As we were getting into the World Series we had a call from the White House to make sure they had the correct number for my office.”
But as the wild, champagne-drenched celebration of the team’s 11th World Series title was going on in the locker room, that phone never rang.
“We never did get a call,” La Russa said.
