Most CFball announcers are men and a majority of those men are white.
They're trying to phase them out as much as possible. Many announcers are black now.
You do realize that there are 5 times more white than black people in America right? I know if you watch TV it doesn't seem that way, but if all were equal you'd see 5 times more White guys on TV than black.
Adjusting for people with college degrees, there should be many more than 5 times as many white people in media settings.

But, In SPORTS media settings, the analysts/hosts/anchors would be mostly ex-players, from sports with an overwhelming majority of black players.
Coverage of Football and basketball far outweighs coverage of golf, hockey, tennis — so seems odd not to have more black anchors/anslysts/hosts than we already have on ESPN.
Now ….. if you’re saying ESPN should skew coverage away from football and basketball, towards hockey—I could get behind that. I like hockey, you like white anchors, we’d both be happy.
Or …. We could just quit dragging race into every damn thing we talk about in this country.

I can't wait to see the first gay black drag queen call a game.
