As a data scientist raised in Chicago’s South Side and shaped by streetball logic and statistical ethics, I watched the silence around Cristiano Ronaldo’s absence from Diogo Jota and Andre Silva’s funeral not as indifference—but as a system failure. The data doesn’t lie: his yacht in Mallorca, the timing, the social media void—these are features in a behavioral model. This isn’t about privilege. It’s about alignment. And we haven’t asked the right question.
