As a race they tend to have certain attributes that are advantageous in a few high profile sporting venues not particularly applicable to the real world.

Blacks are disproportionatly represented in a few high profile sports for sure, but there are other sports where they are not even on the radar screen

Blacks gravitate towards sports with high profile and high pay. EVERY kid in the Ghetto wants to play in the NFL or NBA.

Not so many aspire to be doctors.

I turned down college football scholarships because I wanted to be concentrate on academics so I could become a doctor.

Over representation of Blacks in some sports is not strictly due to physical superiority. Swimming is one of the most physically demanding sports and when was the last time you saw a black swimming champion
