On episode 2, join hosts Abdul (@socialistraptor) and Eytan (@RabbieDieHardman) as they explain how, even as declining numbers of black people in Major League Baseball is usually chalked up to pseudo racial explanations of declining interest and often condescendingly attributed to the fast pace of "black culture", the real reason for the decline of African Americans in the sport is a much deeper confluence of colonialism in Latin America, Reagan era neoliberalism, and tilted statistical modeling.

On this episode of the OffCourt Podcast, find out how the racist foundations of baseball and the way those foundations persist in erasing black people from the sport to maximize profits for billionaire owners.
