Why are you bringing up the quality of the sports here? I follow all American Sports plus the Premier League, and I think they are all equally amazing in their own ways. My original post was actually a question, which no one actually answered as of yet. If we were to discard NBA, NFL, etc and focus on other Europeans. I've been following Bundesliga and La Liga, for some time now, yet I've hardly heard about athletes doing stuff like what the English footballers do. In fact, I've hardly seen MLS players getting involved in stuff like this. Footballers are never a fair representation of the society but it does raise questions, as to why England produces so many degenerates in the sport. I honestly do not know the answer, maybe it's the mentality? Fame? Culture? Education? I don't know. I still haven't got an answer lol.

Do you know who Franck Ribery is?
Or Benzema?
He currently has an empty diary for the next year and countless hours of workfree pay.
Oh mick
I would say French football has a similar issue, of course nowhere near to the same extent as England but they've had their share too, Ribery, Benzema, Valbuena, off the top of my head. There are a lot less in German, Spanish, Dutch football. Still, my point stands. You could maybe name 2/3 White American athletes. But, with England, I can name loads. My original post had 7 names and I hadn't even named people like Joey Barton.
You named ched Evans originally.
I suspect the main reason is all the unpleasant americans get shot by the people they bully before they make it to a professional league.
The great advantage of annual school shootings is it works to prune the more unpleasant people.
Like this Flanagan/Girlfriend situation would never happen in the USA. He'd have been killed at 8 and she'd be too fat to walk.

Interesting to see and read a lot of reds on social media condemnig him and saying they shud get shut, if he was any good tney would proberbly stick up for him
If he wants was any good there is absolutely no ‘probably ‘ about it.

We all know how this will pan out.
He will be 'rehabilitated' by April, and come on as a sub to grab the 95 minute winner in the derby at Goodison.

Absolutely. Wasn't there a sportsman who just killed himself in prison after he was convicted murdering some bloke in another shooting?
He wasn't white though (Hispanic I believe) so maybe that doesn't count.
I'm not shocked by the previous comment on here that only compared whites there with whites in the UK. America thinks along race lines. It's history of segregation is largely the reason for this, from segregated schools to segregated graveyards. Blacks are a separate entity. Likewise Natives (those that were left were put in reservations, cages, where they remain), and all the other races. Redlining, racial steering, black housing projects, ghettos. Then there is "white flight" (this occurs when white folk leave neighbourhoods that have had 'too many blacks' come in and look for a nice white area.).
What's happened though is blacks there are different to here. My brother is incredibly racist towards blacks in America not just because he's in a much more racist environment (he lives in Texas), but also many blacks there harbour grievances due to how they were treated there. While they are justified in doing so it can make it harder to get along. When my brother comes back to the UK he has no issue at all with blacks here. There isn't the same black vs white conflict.
