You’ll find minority participation is generally lower in sports with higher participation costs and racist societies artificially keep minorities in greater poverty and economic stress which naturally eliminates most of their potential applicants from the given sport
Football defies this because of massive institutional funding and support that is also racially motivated but begins in early schools where football programs start
