Hmmmm

"Players born outside the 50 United States represented 27.4 percent of those surveyed on the 2006 Opening Day rosters of the 30 Major League Baseball Clubs, it was announced today.

Overall, 223 of the 813 players (747 active, 25-man roster players and 66 players on disabled lists) on April 2 rosters were born outside the 50 United States, representing 15 different countries and territories. The 2006 figure of 27.4 percent is the third highest total on record, with last year's record high of 29.2 percent (242 out of 829 players) leading the way.

The Dominican Republic, with 85 players, produced the most Major Leaguers born outside the U.S., while Venezuela had the next highest total with 43 players and Puerto Rico follows with 33. "

Because you have over 40 million latino inmigrants living in USA. The latin minority has become bigger than the Black/Ebony minority. :thumbsup

And Bush moved trops this week to the Mexico limits to stop thousands of latino going insida USA every week. :winkwink:

I also ask myself why there are so many latinos, or latin lastnames in this biz :winkwink:

Same reason I guess :winkwink:

Well, the same I answered above :thumbsup

But let's go straight to things here... there are about 30 countries in Latin AMerica, of whom around 25 have Soccer as thier most popular sport :thumbsup

If Cuba, Venezuela or Dominican Republic have Beisball as their first sport, that does not change things really :winkwink:

All them represent maybe 5% of LAtin America, in terms of population and in terms of territory :thumbsup

Not a big deal. :winkwink:

i like it

what sucks is baseball

different skill sets

however there have been a few AFL guys who have played/play NFL

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

LMFAO!!!!

This statement makes you look like an idiot. Since when does the amount of goals decide if its a great game or not? Ive seen plenty of great soccer games with tons of skill which resulted in a scoreless draw. Ive also seen plenty of hockey games which resulted in very little goals being more exciting than some games with a lot of goals.

There are boring games in soccer as Im sure there are in football. This comparing sports is really retarded. Its really what you are into and how much you know about the sport. I didnt grow up watching football so I dont understand it, dont know any players, which teams are good etc.. that doesnt mean the sport is boring.

just fucking get over it, everyone has their own taste in sports... jesus fucking christ all mighty

wtf, I can't believe this thread is still going on.

I watch American Football, I watch regular football (soccer, I'm sorta excited about the World Cup). I watch Major League Baseball. I'm watching the NBA playoffs. I watch volleyball games. I mean I watched the damn Winter Olympics.

Bottom line: who the hell cares what is better than what else and which players can beat up who? Everyone get over their preferred sport and just watch whatever the hell game you want to watch.

If you wanna understand American football, Come to the Us on any friday night in October and find the local High School! The feeling is unreal! Most these kids have been in full pads by 3rd grade and let me tell you 3rd graders can hit, I mean absolutly level someone! High school games run alot quicker than college or pros! Local school runs no huddle 5 wide out offence! Very fast 2 and a half hour game are the normal and have seen a game over in 1 and half!
