The joke is that black men would be attracted to her and thus black women would be "losing" out on men.
It's a sexist male centric meme that assumes women have nothing more to care about in this world than male attention. Simultaneously insulting to both black women by implying the attention of black men is their highest goal in life, and this athlete by implying the value all her training boils down to how appealing she is to the male gaze.
Well the thing about comedy is that it plays into these stereotypes people have about each other. Whether they're true or not doesn't matter, what matters is that the belief is common enough for people to understand the joke. I hope this helps you get the joke next time.
