Here's a good look at whether players of African origin are at significantly higher risk or not.
It
seems to be the case.

Professor of cardiology Sanjay Sharma: "There is data from the National Collegiate Athletic Association in the US that shows that the overall risk of sudden cardiac death during sport is around one in 48,000.
"But when someone actually examines this more closely that risk is considerably higher in black athletes; one in 18,000 in black males."
Professor Sharma said that in the UK the Football Association has done research on young players. The death rate for white footballers in that sample is one in 25,000 but it is one in 4,000 for black players.

But I do think this is information and discussion is of far too high a quality to apply to this thread, where we're looking at people with a morbid 'faith' rather than science.
