I think you are implying is that that attitudes toward violence in football & basketball is racially biased. I think in the NFL & NBA actual fights seem unexpected, more aggressive and real, and maybe there really is a "thug mentality". In the MLB it usually is some guys clearing the benches and swatting flies & in the NHL, besides it's been part of the game for years, the participants are so heavily padded and helmeted to be rarely harmful.
"In the MLB, the report said 38 percent of all players as of Opening Day 2022 were players of color, a 0.4 percent increase over 2021's numbers. About 28.5 percent of those players were Hispanic or Latino, 1.9 percent were Asian players, and less than 1 percent were Hawaiian/Pacific Islander or Native American."
"While Black players made up about 18 percent of all MLB rosters when TIDES first began assessing the league's demographic data in 1991, Black players represented only 7.2 percent of all MLB players at the start of the current season."

I'm guessing the 75-80% number must be counting Hispanic whites as white.
