Her numbers are off but the message still is valid. Soccer is predominantly a middle-upper income sport. MLS clubs are the only place (mostly ) diverse talent wins out over your parents bank account

I would remove the "white" as that implies there is discrimination. There is a pay wall, and it is a suburban rich kids sport, but I don't see policies blocking anyone based on ethnicity.

AAU seems to be expensive, but...
On the other end of the spectrum, not every AAU team comes with a huge price tag. There are teams across the country that are either sponsored by major shoe companies or are run by non-profit groups and as a result, cover all costs for their players. Jordan plays 17u for Greenwood Elite in Michigan and pays absolutely nothing to play on his team. Greenwood Elite not only takes care of the tournament entry fees but also pays for the hotels, flights and three meals a day for their players.

Useless discussion as long as black athletes prefer basketball.
Nature vs nurture, perhaps?
