Why do black holes have rings around them, rather than spheres?

Question

I get the explanation that they have gravity and things are attracted, but why is it in a ring rather than a sphere? why do things from one AXIS get attracted but not from other?

Answer 1

Because Black Holes spin.

In a reverse method, take a koosh ball, soak it in water, and then spin it really fast… You notice that the water droplets flying outwards dont fly outwards in sphere, but as a ring, perpendicular to the axis of spin.

Same concept, but flowing inwards, not outwards.
