I hate racism but I also hate stock tokenism. People are fundamentally people.

Why are some people so obsessed with making everything about skin colour?

i think its not the job of the bbc to be making that observation. Stick to the sport

7 of rangers first team are poc

scotland is 99.9% white

are we too blacK?

this dreadful woke presenter has form

A few more white and we might have won the penalty shoot out. Let’s be real.

:facepalm:

This is where things become ridiculous…

Absurd…

It’s a pity this thread had to be made by the person it was made by but bait or no bait he has a point this particular time around.

Is there a full clip of this instead of a cherry picked 20 seconds?? sounds like it was leading in to a segment regarding the matter rather than an off the cuff remark...

Looks like it was a promotion for this documentary

Where have you been all these years?

Or did you legit. return a while back and I just didn’t notice?

so we have to watch a whole ("one" woman's opinion) documentary before we can decode what this woman has said?

sure

i don't see how any further context is necessary in this case. She made an observation. If i said there are 2 pigeons on my roof, what further context is needed to explain the occurrence

LT you don't even watch women's football, so why create this thread?

the context would explain why she was on the topic but not the observation made and made as a criticism as if racism was wholly responsible

is it in the football section?

whatever the context, the bottom line is she said the words ......'too white'

some people seem quite happy to have double standards though

yeah so?


our team has a strong ethnic variety though also among ''white'' players

two of our strongest talents as well

Victoria Pelova = bulgarian descent

Damaris Egurrola = half dutch, born in america, half basque




the POC in that photo isn't with the squad currently, van der sande, but more because she is not good enough quality for his desired match tactics according to Parsons (hypocrite when selecting Beerensteyn whom is like a cement brick and zero technical skill, don't know how she ever played for top team Juventus and now signed with Chelsea)

there isn't a thing as ''too white'' or ''too black''


players get selected for national teams if they fit in well into the managers preferred squad tactics



but sadly some get preferences based on superstar appeal no matter what form they are in (at men Lionel Messi whom is crap for argentina but yeah name advantages :facepalm: and here at womens Lieke Martens even in this horrendous current form still makes starting 11s because she is the female messi or ronaldo :facepalm:)


one of our PSV talents, Esmee Brugts made her debut actually coming in for Martens in 80th minute against Portugal, but would've loved it more if she got in for Martens from begin of second half

one of our strongest assets of last eredivisie season (which says something about so called veterans Sari van Veenendaal whom absolutely was a horror to watch in goal, no loss now at euros for sure lol)

She never said "too white" at all, she said the team was all white.

Women are crap at football.

all white is actually a stronger assertion than too white

how many white players are in African women teams?

like say Zambia and NIgeria..


oh

How do you come to that conclusion?

Highlighting that the team was all white in relation to a documentary that touches on a lack of diversity (by a black female footballer with first hand knowledge) is a compeltely different context to the clickbait articles making it sound like it was an attack on poor downtrodden white people.

You mean a comment was taken out of context to stir up hatred and pretend that white people are being victimised? I am honestly shocked

He isnt talking about Football though is he...he is talking about the comment someone made about the diversity of the team :shrug:

This is not a thread about Meghan...

What?.. You’re actually obsessed, seek help

From the words spoken, it's pretty straightforward

Glastonbury was "too white" as well as i recall...


lol

No you just misconstrued what she was saying because right wing media baited you in.

...maybe you need to seek a sense of humour :laugh:

Now being debated live on LBC

This.

It's like a new form of OCD at this point where a number white, black & Asian people all have to have an equal amount as each other taking part in the same thing.

Like my God things like That's So Raven on TV for example would not be allowed to be made exactly like it was in today's climate.

And going back to Football, countries can only select from a limited pool of choices, and for some countries (like Japan for example) where the country doesn't really have much choice other than to pick Asian players.

But I do agree with you Redway 100% with this post.

After reading up more on this particular incident I can see where you're coming from.

Admittedly though there are people that want to force diversity into everything even if it might make a weaker in this case Football team.

Because to me I honestly don't care if England came out with an all black team if it's producing us with good results.

Imo everyone should have an equal opportunity, but ultimately we should picking who's best for the team, and considering 85% of England is white, it is more than likely gonna mean that England is mostly a white National team.

I get that the Documentary is probably highlighting racism during Alex Scott's time in Football though, which honestly should not be happening in a Sport where everyone is meant to unite as a community, because ultimately destroys that goal.
