ABSTRACT:
The relationship between the Racial Composition of NBA, NFL, and MLB teams and the racial composition of franchise cities were examined in this research. Theoretically, Blalock had proposed two types of compensatory resources - (a) competitive resources, and (b) pressure resources - that influence the hiring of minorities. Pressure resources seem particular applicable in the present context. For 1983 and 1989 data on the percentage of African-Americans in the city in which the franchise was located and the percentage of African-Americans on the team were collected. The statistical analyses of the data revealed no systematic correlations between the racial composition of players in these sports and the racial composition of the cities in which the franchises were located.
