Richard Lapchick, who appears to be someone whose goal in life is so de-whiten sports, has a website with some useful data on the demographics of different sports.
http://tidesport.org/racialgenderreportcard.html
There are a bunch of PDF files here with lots of different data. I took some screenshots of pieces of info I found interesting.
NFL total players by year and race:
NFL offense and defense by year and race:
Major League Baseball by year and race:
Male Division I sports by year and race:
Things that stand out to me:
- The numbers seem to have stayed around the same over the last 20 years, since around 1992. The amount of white players in the NFL has not changed significantly from the 29-32% mark, even with expansion teams.
Same thing with college football, the numbers have stayed the same. The 20 years prior, 1970-1990 had big demographic changes.
- The decline of white defensive players from 1983-1993, but it really comes out in these stats.
