ESPN Baseball Coverage Credibilty
On Sunday we had to endure the presentation of Hank Aaron depicted on National television alongside Jackie Robinson while wearing a Boston Braves uniform ….. a team he never represented.
The next night the baseball presentation puts forward the notion that one of the reasons that made Robinson such an ikon was that baseball was a pioneer among Major sports in being the first to give such an opportunity to those of his ethnic background!!!! Although it was not routine for black footballers to represent a NFL franchise numerous black footballers were given this opportunity most notably commencing with Fritz Pollard in 1920.
What has happened to informed, professional sports commentary ?
