somegreatguy 12/16/11 1:46:00 PM #2:	In big cities, there's no room for big fields for football or soccer. Basketball courts are way smaller, don't require grass and you can put a hoop up just about anywhere. That isn't to sat that Black people can't like other sports, but basketball is most closely tied to urban culture. -- http://www.youtube.com/user/limpmixbit <cite>somegreatguy posted [p:562393] in why do bla...

muddersmilk 12/16/11 1:56:00 PM #3:	Yeah its really just that basketball is such a perfect fit for urban environments. Just like how soccer is often more popular in poor rural countries where people can just take a small ball into an empty field and kick it around. -- (Maniac64 at work) Guns don't kill people, Kinder eggs do.

metroid composite 12/16/11 2:01:00 PM #4:	*somegreatguy posted...* In big cities, there's no room for big fields for football or soccer. Basketball courts are way smaller, don't require grass and you can put a hoop up just about anywhere. Having played street hockey in canada, no, there are other sports that don't require much space. If anything, basketball requires more than most sports--you need a hoop for it. All you need to play, say, soccer is a ball. You sure as hell don't need grass: soccer is playable on pavement. Really, the only sports that won't work so well on pavement without much equipment in a small area are baseball (you'll totally break some windows) and football (tackling people on pavement when not wearing heavy padding = injury central). And yet, baseball and football are probably the #2 and #3 most popular sports among African Americans (and far above hockey and soccer) so...I don't think the "playable in an urban setting" is really all that important. -- Cats land on their feet.

NeoElfboy 12/16/11 2:57:00 PM #10:	All you need to play, say, soccer is a ball. And a considerable amount of space. The game isn't really playable without at least a decent-sized backyard or park; anyone can set up a basketball hoop in an alleyway, driveway, or small playground. Basketball does feel quite suited to the urban environment, especially a dense one, which is where a significant amount of America's black population lives. -- The RPG Duelling League: www.rpgdl.com An unparalleled source for RPG information and discussion <cite>NeoElfboy posted [p:562401] in why do bla...
