is doing its part, too. Drew Brees threw a pair of touchdown passes in the first

Laudrup revealed Thursday he was notified of his dismissal in "the briefest of
letters which gave no reasons why such hasty and final action was deemed
necessary. Former Major League Baseball manager Tony La Russa says he recognizes
there are issues that affect the black community in the United States but takes
some issue with what Baltimore Orioles star Adam Jones said and questions the
motives of?San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick.Appearing on The Dan
Le Batard Show with Stugotz on ESPN Radio on Wednesday, La Russa said that while
he respects Jones as a person and a player, the Orioles outfielder was off base
when he said baseball is a white mans sport.When he says its 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
spent two years working for Major League Baseball. We want the black athletes to
pick not basketball or football, but want them to play baseball; they should
play baseball. And were working to make that happen in the inner cities. We have
a lot of Latin players. We have players from the Pacific Rim.Jones opinion on
the lack of African-American players in MLB is supported by the leagues
demographics. Only 8 percent of the league classifies as African-American,
according to USA Today, with a total of just 69 black players being on the
Opening Day rosters of the leagues 30 teams.La Russa agreed that there is an
issue but said effort is being made.Its very difficult in the inner cities to
get black athletes to play the game, La Russa said. So what [MLB is doing is]
expanding the opportunity so the black athlete gets a chance.La Russa further
said baseball is the smart choice for young athletes, regardless of race.If you
pick the sport where you have all shapes and sizes, you can retire and not walk
around crippled, its gotta be baseball, said La Russa, who is now the chief
baseball officer of the Arizona Diamondbacks. But we have to provide the
opportunities, but its not because its an elitist sport. Its because there just
hasnt been enough playgrounds that have baseball. And thats goonna change.

target.Jones comments Monday are part of the broader topic of African-American
athletes electing not to stand for the national anthem as a way of bringing
attention to issues they feel need to be addressed in the U.S. Kaepernick
started it by sitting during the national anthem during the preseason and has
evolved his protest to taking a knee during the playing of The Star-Spangled
Banner.La Russa, who as a manager led the Oakland Athletics to three straight
World Series trips from 1988 to 1990 and a 1989 title, says he really
distrust[s] the sincerity of the Bay Area quarterback.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 hes a second-stringer and hes got this
mission ... and I just dont trust his sincerity, La Russa said. And even if he
was sincere, theres 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.Asked if he as a manager would let a player sit during
the anthem, La Russa said he absolutely would not allow it.I would tell [a
player that wanted to sit out the anthem to] sit inside the clubhouse, La Russa
said. Youre 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. Youre not
going to show it that way publicly and disrespectfully.While he said he would
force a protesting player to stay in the clubhouse, La Russa added that he
wouldnt keep that player from playing.No, hed play the game, but he wouldnt be
out there sitting down, La Russa said. Hed go in the locker room and make his
protest.
