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

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?

Please check this video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1bSDnuIPbo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1bSDnuIPbo) . At around 10:40 it starts explaining why it looks like this. This is combination of fact that all matter will tend to fall onto black hole in circular pattern, and rest is gravity so strong, that you can see back of black hole from even when looking directly from the front.
