This is the one area I do agree that overall white people def unfairly treat black athletes, but I don’t think it’s a big deal. It’s just fandom
John Daily is beloved for being a drinker and partier even though he wasted extreme talent
I don’t think that love happens if he is a black athlete that wastes his talent the same way
Gronk is loved for being a partying moron. I don’t see black athletes that are dumb as hell who party in the public eye get loved for it
Oh well, I expect a bunch of insecure white people to lash out at me

Everything doesn’t have to be about race

Those guys don’t act like assholes though. Marshawn Lynch acts dumb and people like him. I think most people can deal with it if it’s done in a goofy, fun kind of way.

Both McGregor and Floyd have rabid fans who love them for their antics. Those people are likely douchebags. They also have people who dislike them quite a bit for their antics. Those people are likely sensible. I don’t think there’s anything unfair about Floyd having more black fans and McGregor having more white fans. And I’d guess that Floyd has WAY more white fans than McGregor does black fans.
Daly and Gronk(especially Daly) are much more than what you described them as. People can see their faults in Daly and relate a little bit. He and his career have followed a Hollywood movie style arc. The guy plays golf tournaments and then goes to the pub to play music for people. He’s very introspective and open.
There’s just a lot more to him than “he’s a drunk and whites wouldn’t root for a black drunk.”
Same with Gronk but to a MUCH lesser extent. The guy just never stop smiling and having fun and balling out. What black athlete do we not like that is similar to Gronk? There might be some, but are there even videos of him being a drunken disaster/a-hole?

Mayweathers boxing style isn't as exciting for all of the outside the ring bluster.

Is he beloved though? People might have been pulling for him to beat his addictions but he is usually the butt of the jokes.

Gronk was partying with underage girls in Aruba and the media shrugged.

OJ? Ray Lewis? Wilt Chamberlain? LeBron James? and Tiger Woods are all still beloved. Are they all perfect? Nope!
