Big surprise, the US Winter Olympic Team is too white.

Well duh.

Summer Olympics has more sports that are accessible to a wider range of people.

Figure skating, speed skating, even some of the skiing and Nordic combined sports are expensive. If you come from a poor or lower middle class family, who has the money to go to skating rinks or ski resorts to take lessons and all the rest that comes with it?

This doesn't have much of anything to do with the Winter Olympics, but this very morning I heard a story on NPR lamenting the weak state of US soccer (known as football/futbol in degenerate regions).  One of the problems cited, of course, was lack of diversity in the young "development"-level talent.  The genius expert being interviewed said that this was in large part due to the tremendous expense of having young kids in organized soccer.  There was not a hint of irony or pushback to be heard on the radio story, but all I could think of was how many of the world's greatest soccer players grew up in shitholes where they literally had nothing but a single ball for the entire slum and a half-cleared lot straddling the road and sewage trench, and those kids can, I guarantee, outplay 99% of all the league-experienced, summer-camp-trained bougie kids here.  Soccer does not really take much more in terms of resources than basketball to play, it's just that our upper-middle class families are the only ones that give a crap about it.  There's your diversity problem - not what people can afford, but what they care about doing.

I thought the MLS was over 50% non-white. People have lamented the lack of black players in MLB because there are represented at only 11% or so which is about the proportion of the black population of America. Of course nobody cares of the lack of diversity amongst NFL or NBA players.
