I watched it
Saturday late night SkyNewsHD
Sunday Brief Newspaper Review
with Rachel Shabi.


[Race row breaks out after
Sky News panellist claims England's World Cup
Lioness squad 'isn't that diverse' and is
filled with 'blonde, blue-eyed girls'

Wilfred Emmanuel-Jones MBE was branded 'racist' by
furious people online]



[Some people have blasted the
entrepreneur as 'racist', criticising him
for not accepting that the
'best players' were chosen.
'I don't want to pour boiling water
on it but it isn't that diverse', the farmer said,
describing the front page of
the Daily Mirror - which featured
a host of England stars on its cover.]

Professional sports teams aren't supposed to be diverse, they're supposed to be the best players available.

The silly man obviously does not watch or understand football. You dont cast teams as if they are an ad campaign.

I only date girls with blue eyes.

All those blacks and only one token whitey, shocking racism from Nigeria.

And the whitey is not really a proper white because she doesnt have blue eyes. Disgusting lack of diversity.

Two things can be true at the same time. What he said was factually correct, but it also misses the point of sports and competition.

[Oliver_W]

Well the team isn't very diverse :shrug:

And that isn't a bad thing or a good thing.

if we are ever going to have true equality, we need to stop putting race, sex and gender under the microscope at every opportunity

At least -

4 blacks
4 Whites
1 Jew
1 East Asian
2 South East Asian
1 Gypsy
1 Canadian
2 Mixed race
1 Special mix of races ie a half brown Muslim with a Buddhist Asian father and mixed race black Australian Mother
