Hey, African-Americans don't follow baseball...right?

Minor League Team Catering To Very Specific Fan Base

The West Virginia Power are the Class A affiliate for the Milwaukee Brewers. Baseball is more popular in West Virginia than you ever realized. There you have it. You know what else is more popular in West Virginia than you realized? RACISM! (Wee!) The Power are selling the team’s home jerseys online, but they’ve picked an awfully strange way to advertise it: They’re calling it a “white power” jersey. Heck, who wouldn’t want one of those? Shoot, it is baseball: It’s not like there are any black baseball fans anyway.

So what’s next for these fine, upstanding White Folks?

“Burning Crosses at the Trailer Park Night?”

“Two-for-one Watermelon Night?”

“George Wallace Look-alike Night?”

Or maybe a “Turn Back the Clock Night” where all the water fountains, concession stands, and rest rooms are segregated? Perhaps the team could allow White fans the opportunity to turn fire hoses on any African-Americans in the stands? Hey, it’s West Virginia, don’tchaknow…and if you’re gonna run a baseball team there, you’re gonna have to work that much harder to attract those well-heeled White fans, ‘cuz you gotta know that the Darkies don’t spend money like White Folks, right?

Yeah, I know; you’re not racist, are you? After all, some of your best friends are African-American. Yeah, that’s what I thought.
