Correlation to Louisiana having the second highest % of African American population. (33%)


Louisiana comes in at 6th in MLB players per capita in the US as well (4.5 Players per 100k). Florida leads the way with 6.1 per 100k.

Sports Culture is a massive pull for young men in the deep south.

I know you were joking, but the fact that folks are leaving the state actually helps their ranking in this. The ones birthing all those athletes aren't the ones leaving.

Not a state obviously, but DC is number one in per capita NFL players by a huge margin. I wonder how it compares to other major cities in the US.
