I was thinking of something to write about while watching the the football game. Then I realized that there is cultural diversity in sports. But it is a little different then comparing some minorities. It seems to me that in many sports there are a lot more african american players then white players. This isnt the case in all sports but it defenitely is when talking about football and basketball. I wastrying to think why there are certain statistics of different races in different sports and couldnt really come up with anything. Do any of you know why there are more of one race in certain sports or even have any theories?
Thats an interesting point you bring up. Im not really sure why that is. I wonder if part of it had to do with how other cultures are raised. For instance Basketball is major sport played in cities. Its like the hang out spot for many people to gather, and there are courts everywhere. A lot of people who live in the city are from minorities. So perhaps since they may not feel they have a future in school, they may divert a lot of energy to the sport. Im not really sure though, just a guess.
