Common sense should tell you that since there isn't a high number of Black folks who make over 100k that any study covering that group would include Black athletes. So you can look at numbers from a study of that group of people and come to some pretty certain conclusions. If over 80% of them do *insert thing here* then you can very safely assume that even singling out 1 specific group of an already small group of people in order to find that they significantly go against that initial study as you're suggesting it would have to be an astronomically high number. Basically you're eye test would have to show higher than 90% of pro athletes marry outside of their race which we all know doesn't happen

But in that small sample size I did by just using NBA All Stars from the previous season out of all of the black players only 30% of them have a significant other who is black.
And we're not only talking about marriage. We're talking about dating too. Anybody who you're fucking with ie a significant other.

True but from the looks of it not much changes when they make it to the league either.
Bruh there's over 500 players in the NBA. You picked 20 something players and didn't even get all of them right...and then you're only including 1 league as if the NFL and MLB don't exist which then puts the number of players into the 1000s. So if you want someone to believe your eye test incorrectly gathered sample size survey over one that can actually be applied then you got a hell of an ego instead of just stepping back and saying "Maybe my eyes aren't telling me the whole story"

I mean...............
There are literally less than 50 black baseball players right now in the Major Leagues. Their numbers are actually historically low right now so adding baseball players to the mix is not going to provide the bump that you think it will.
And even using the small sample size I did with NBA players if you simply take the averages of those numbers and apply it to the entire league that would still average out to less than 50% of the total NBA population dating black women and that's definitely lower than those numbers posted earlier that only applied to married black people making more than $100K.
We're talking specifically about black athletes so now I'm not adding any other profession because that's not what we're talking about.
When it comes to just black athletes the amount of them that are dating black women is not as high as you're acknowledging and the only way to truly know how high it is you'd have to go and look at who they're dating.

Oh yes indeed. Black college football players fuck with non black women more than any other sport.
I didn't break down the numbers for NFL players but there's definitely still a lot of them niggas with their ski boots on even after college.
Even if we just stick to the more prominent players the majority of these niggas are not with black women. If this wasn't the case then the whole thing about black athletes dating non black women would never have been as big of a discussion as it has been.
Its funny you seem to know how to extrapolate numbers when they work in your favor for your eye test but not for the actual numbers given in a study that's already been done.. We know that the majority of them do date and marry Black women. Which is why you keep trying to pivot to "well most of them are light skin or mixed". Your entire premise was that the majority of Black athletes are dating and marry outside their race. You try to throw in light skin and mixed as a cover but you're premise is still wrong.
That shit is an overblown discussion used to get website clicks on bullshit articles. The same way they keep pumping out articles to Black women about how Black women aren't getting married and for those that are they're now marrying white men when that's also not true. You fell for the media bullshit

That's not what I'm doing.
You're missing the point.
You know how when we're talking about black people specifically and someone instead said "people of color"? That's what you're doing.
There's a reason why I said what I said about some of their significant others being mixed. It's because the amount of players who are dating straight up black women is not as high as you're making it seem.
You're making this sound more difficult then it is.
Your point is very clear. It's just literally factually wrong.
Los216
The Game Is The Game
It's not factually wrong.
There is no way to confirm who black athletes are dating other than going and looking for yourself.
There is no study done on just black athletes and who they date.
Doing or posting a study that includes other black people who are not athletes does not apply to this discussion.
We're only talking about black athletes.
Where can you find the most information about who black athletes are dating?
You'll have to individually go and see about each one.
There is no central source.
Like I said...it's funny you seem to be able to extrapolate numbers to fit your pov but all of a sudden the numbers don't tell the whole story when you're countered.

What numbers??????
There are no numbers on exactly how many black athletes are dating black women.

It is a thing but the reason behind it isn’t all that deep
For somebody who is deep into the athlete lifestyle, if you are going to have a girl long term it typically has to be somebody who is going tolerate a certain pattern of neglect/disrespect. It has to be somebody who can swallow the fact that she is never going to be the top priority. The relationship has to take a back seat constantly. Typically that’s not a black woman, and I say that as a compliment to black women.

From anecdotal evidence witnessing college athletes pull chicks it really just came down to proximity and ease of access…now some people have mentioned and especially as a guy, yes some women can be easier than others…I don’t expect all women to understand this principle but it’s true

Right they made it look easy! But when you have status that’s like a third of the battle won, besides wealth and looks. Modern day women are very forthright nowadays love em or loathe them
