Is there a sport left that no black person plays?

We have a number of black sailors here in Chicago and I know a good few up and down the east coast that race. The big one here is the Race to Mackinac and I know a few guys from my uncle's club that participate every couple of years.
At one point there used to be black sailors from Chicago, Detroit, and Cleveland that used to race together. Not sure if they still do though.
There's a few all black yacht clubs here as well and the claim is that they're the largest contingent of black sailors in the country.

Can't say that i did bruhyou not watch the Olympics?
No, the best cricket team of all time was West Indies (a joint team made up of Jamaicans, Bajans, Trinidadians, Antiguans and Guyanese) 1975-95, they won two World Cups and went fifteen years undefeated. Aside from a handful of Indians, the team was entirely black throughout that period

But there are more black boaters than sailors.
Bill Pickney is a staple on the scene and was the first black man to sail around the world solo in his own boat. He also has a juniors sailing program for black youth.

They also have the Black Boaters Summit that happens every year down in the VI. It's where all the black sailors and boaters meet up annually, a convention of sorts.
Jackson Park Yacht Club is pretty much the black yacht club in Chicago.
