Why Do Rich People Love Endurance Sports? (2017)
The title should be "Why are the people who love endurance sports rich?"<p>There's no evidence presented that a majority or even a significant percentage of people who are rich love endurance sports, only that most of the people who love endurance sports are rich. Is there a name for this sort of statistical error? Because it's <i>everywhere</i>.<p>Let's pretend there's 10,000,000 "rich people" and 100,000 "people who love endurance sports". Easily 100% of the people who love endurance sports could be rich while it's still an insignificant percentage of rich people as a whole.<p>I'm going to guess that the majority of people who are competitive at <i>any</i> hobby are pretty well off, simply because people who are poor do not have the time or resources to practice enough to become competitive at leisure activities.
