The NBL and The NHL are succeeding in making it an All White sport, and its shameful, for if a Man of Dark Color wants to become a baseball player or hockey player, because of his color, he probably will not get the chance…..It’s all about sportsmanship, and the Owners lack that, as well as some of the players too.
