Orioles' Jones to paper: 'Baseball is a white man's sport' (Yahoo Sports)

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Adam Jones says baseball players haven't joined 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick in his national anthem protest because they are concerned about losing their jobs. ''We already have two strikes against us,'' Jones told the newspaper, which noted that black players made up just 8 percent of major league rosters compared to 68 percent in the NFL. Kaepernick took a knee for the national anthem during San Francisco exhibition games and questioned whether the country represented ''what it's supposed to represent.'' Other athletes have joined the protest.
