Why has affirmative action not been applied to professional sports?

I’ve always wanted to play pro basketball, but I am not good enough. Nearly all the jobs go to black guys. Can I sue the NBA siting discrimination and force them to take me through affirmatve action?

Baseball has been declared "too white" in recent years by disgruntled blacks.

So the theme would seem to be that nothing can ever be too black, but everything is subject to not being black enough, as it suits them.

I don’t hear other races pissing and moaning about this.

    They will tell you "the black players who are in the NBA are simply better than you".

    Perhaps so. But the same should go for employment, shouldn’t it?

    In the real world no one hires the less qualified no matter what Uncle Sam says.

    Sure you can, or you could wait until next year, when they will have the first ever team comprised completely of trolls.

    Could it possibly be that practice makes perfect, and the black people practice their skill the most?

    No. There are physical differences among groups of people that make them more likely to succeed in certain tasks than others. This is painfully obvious. No amount of practice will change your genetic makeup. Blacks of west African decent can run faster and jump higher on average than other groups and these innate abilities translate well to basketball success. Equality doesn’t exist in nature.

    Give me your source showing less qualified blacks being hired over whites.
