前雀雀教頭 LaRussa 也表態了

節錄幾段：

"When he says it's a white, like elitist kind of sport, I mean how much
 wronger can he be? We have tried so hard, the MLB, to expand the black
 athletes' opportunity," said La Russa, who also spent two years working for
 MLB. "We want the black athletes to pick not basketball or football, but want
 them to play baseball -- they should play baseball. And we're working to make
 that happen in the inner cities. We have a lot of Latin players, we have
 players from the Pacific Rim."

"It's very difficult in the inner cities to get black athletes to play the
 game, so what [Major League Baseball is doing is] expanding the opportunity
 so the black athlete gets a chance."

"If you pick the sport where you have all shapes and sizes, you can retire
 and not walk around crippled, it's gotta be baseball. But we have to
 provide the opportunities, but it's not because it's an elitist sport. It's
 because there just hasn't been enough playgrounds that have baseball. And
 that's gonna change -- it is changing because MLB is making it a target."

"I was there in the Bay Area when he first was a star, a real star. I never
 once saw him do anything but promote himself. And all of a sudden now he's a
 second-stringer and he's got this mission ... and I just don't trust his
 sincerity. And even if he was sincere, there's ways to  express your belief
 in some of the issues that face blacks around this country without
 disrespecting the country you live in or the flag that it represents."

When asked if he as a manager would let a player sit during the anthem he said
he "absolutely would not allow it."

"I would tell [a player that wanted to sit out the anthem to] sit inside the
 clubhouse. You're not going to be out there representing our team and our
 organization by disrespecting the flag. No, sir, I would not allow it. ... If
 you want to make your statement you make it in the clubhouse, but not out
 there, you're not going to show it that way publicly and disrespectfully."

While he said he would force a player to stay in the clubhouse if they wanted
to protest, La Russa added that he wouldn't keep that player from playing.

"No, he'd play the game, but he wouldn't be out there sitting down, he'd go
 in the locker room and make his protest."

簡單來說：

1.老拉覺得棒球才不是甚麼白人貴族運動；黑人運動員除了籃球足球也應該來打棒球。

2.官方很努力在推廣讓 inner cities 的族群也有機會接觸棒球，問題在於場地不足。

3.絕對不允許隊上球員公開地對 (美國) 國旗及其所代表的精神不敬。

4.不過不會因為這樣而冰球員；你要抗議ok，到場下休息室更衣間抗議吧。

※ 引述《Zuleta ()》之銘言：
: 最近NFL49人的Kaepernick唱國歌時拒唱坐下的議題很紅
: 不過MLB好像沒什麼人有看法? 向來有話直說的AJ告訴你
: (只節錄幾段)
: 1."過去已經有兩次strikes(這裡不太清楚什麼意思)針對我們了
: 所以你為了不要被踢出去只好當個乖寶寶"
: 2."在NFL你不能趕走他們，他們需要黑人。MLB不需要。"
: 3."棒球是白人的運動。"
: 4."我還看到有人用尼葛罵K7，就因為我們是黑人，所以我們要被嘲諷"
: 5."美國憲法說我們有言論的自由，可是每次談到有關color的問題時都會自動end"
: 6."很多人應該不知道國歌什麼意思吧? 每次看他們站在那也沒專心
:    只是有人叫他們站起來而已"
: 目前African-American在MLB只有8%，NFL68%，NBA75%。
