I have one non-sport observation to make:
In a country, my beloved USA, which sadly is not "racially blind," I have been struck by how most of the starting players (men) on the teams in the NCAA men's basketball finals are "black," while by far most of the cheerleaders (women) rooting for one team or another are "white."
Also, most (but not all) of the head coaches of the competing teams appear to be "white."
And so apparently are "white" most of the audiences at the games (my non-scientific conclusion based on watching the games on unrealiable Tee-Vee as "social science").
I am not judging, just observing (an observation, please take note, not based on statistics.)
Yet another "racial divide" in the USA today? Draw your own conclusions ...
On the other hand, the endless ads on Tee-Vee between breaks in the games seem to be far more "racially" integrated ...
Among such endless ads, in their ode to racial diversity [?] they feature a green/white creature (evidently a lizard) sponsored by Geico ...

A Personal Note:I am by no means a sports fan, but I have a special affinity for basketball. Unable to play the game properly, I nevertheless was a school basketball team manager while in grade school (i.e., picking up the sweat shirts).
More important, my dear brother was a star player/co-captain of our high school team. So I admired /cheered him on at his many victorious basketball games.
Translation: I have spent much too much time looking at the March Madness collegiate NCAA Tournament on Tee-Vee.
