The NFL is a predominately white league. The percentage of black players in the NFL has actually been declining in recent years, from 69% in 2001 to 65% in 2016, according to data from the Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport. At the same time, the percentage of white players has increased, from 29% in 2001 to 31% in 2016.

There has been a recent push for more diversity in the NFL

In recent years, there has been a push for more diversity in the NFL. This is evident in the hiring of head coaches and front office personnel, as well as the composition of NFL rosters. According to a 2016 study, nearly 70% of NFL players are black, while only 27% are white. This leaves a small percentage of players who are Hispanic, Asian, or of another race.

The National Football League (NFL) is a professional American football league consisting of 32 teams, divided equally between the National Football Conference (NFC) and the American Football Conference (AFC). The NFL is one of the four major professional sports leagues in North America, and the highest professional level of American football in the world.

The percentage of NFL players that are white has been slowly declining over the years. According to a 2017 study, about 64 percent of NFL players were white, down from 80 percent in 2010. While the percentage of black players has remained steady at around 20 percent, the percentage of Hispanic and Asian players has increased slightly, to around 10 percent and 2 percent respectively.

The NFL has made an effort to increase the percentage of minorities in the league

The National Football League (NFL) has made an effort to increase the percentage of minorities in the league, with black players making up almost 70 percent of rosters in 2017. But despite this progress, the number of white players in the NFL has remained relatively static over the past decade.

As of 2017, about 60 percent of NFL players were white, according to data from the Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport (IDES). That’s down slightly from 63 percent in 2007, but it’s still well above the percentage of whites in the general population (about 60 percent as of 2016).

Hispanics made up about 21 percent of NFL players in 2017, up from 17 percent in 2007. Asians and Pacific Islanders accounted for two percent of players, while Native Americans made up less than one percent.

The percentage of black players in the NFL has increased steadily over the past decade, reaching 69.7 percent in 2017. That’s up from 66.3 percent in 2007 and 64.8 percent in 1997.

There are still a large number of NFL players that are white

The National Football League (NFL) is a professional American football league consisting of 32 teams, divided equally between the National Football Conference (NFC) and the American Football Conference (AFC). The NFL is one of the four major professional sports leagues in North America, and the highest professional level of American football in the world.

According to a 2017 study, the NFL is 68.7% black and 28.6% white, with minorities accounting for the remaining 2.7%. This means that there are still a large number of NFL players that are white.

The percentage of NFL players that are white has gradually declined over the years. In 1981, whites made up 58.9% of NFL players. By 1987, this number had decreased to 54.3%. In 1995, it was down to 51.8%. And in 2003, it was 49.3%.

It’s worth noting that these numbers only represent the percentage of NFL players who are white. They don’t necessarily reflect the overall demographics of America, which is currently about 60% white and 13% black.
