Martin Luther King III has confirmed his involvement in discussions to purchase a part of the New York Mets.
Major league baseball has no African-American owners.
Here's what he said -
“I believe in the merit and American value of creating an example,” “and if I personally, or as part of a collective, can advance the vision of a more diverse ownership group in professional sports, domestically or internationally, then, like my father, I am prepared to act in that spirit.”
“There has been a lot of discussion and speculation about my participation in the acquisition of the New York Mets. The public release of those discussions was premature.”
Wow!!! I didn't know that MLK III had that kind of money! But I do think it would be great for Baseball!
