That could certainly be a factor. I think that the black population is rather conservative, too. That could also be a factor. Do you know which teams are failing the quickest. Is their some sort of indicator that would give a clue as to the reason for the failing?
The alternative is to start firing all those destroying the league, no matter who they are or how well they play. Every contract has a clause about harm to the parties and what to do when that happens.
