Why is there such a big fuss about the number of blacks in major league baseball?

I guess the number of blacks playing pro ball has fallen. People actually are keeping count? What for? Do you think that the country is discriminating in baseball? You never hear anyone complaining about the numbers of other races playing other major league sports. When will we ever just be americans? Who cares which race dominates which sport? I think that the positions in pro sports go to whoever is most talented. Do we really need affirmative action is pro sports?

1. I don't think the people in this category are making a big, or little fuss. This is certainly a non-issue to me, as long as one group isn't being discriminated against; which means, theoretically, there should be about the same percentage of each race in sports as their is in the country. I think blacks are pretty well represented, because of their ability, not their color.
2. blacks are overwhelmingly racist or racialist.
