Last week after having read a few tweets about how white people are racist, yada yada, it struck me that Black people make up only 12% of our population, they make up almost 60% of NFL players and almost 75% of basketball players. Seems to me, if we're being fair about race, then shouldn't Blacks only make up 12% of these teams?
Note that I am a 64 year old White grandmother who knows nothing about sports. Numbers and percentages fascinate me.
