Is Football Racist ?

[Pblueman]

This is very simplistic but here I go anyway. In my opinion there were very few black players around 20 years ago, and most managers are ex players. I think in 10 years time or so we'll have a lot more black managers. Very simplistic but I'm hanging here.

Agree with this. i dont think its inherently racist towards black managers at all.

So what exactly isn't racist in England, all you PC people? Everything and more seems to be racist for no reason at all these days.

This is most silly.

Of course not. Women's Beach Volleyball is clearly sexier.

They are retarded and are doing more harm than good.

Out of the thousands of professional football players in England 25% are black, whilst there's much less than 1% who manage.

Forget Barnes...he was one of the few annointed one's who got a fair shake and blew it. He should not be used as the yardstick. There's a clear cultural problem with seeing black players in positions of authority. You just cant draw any other conclusion from the stats.

25% of players are black NOW. Who are still playing. How many players were black in the 80s?

Awww - poor Johnny Barnes. What was his managerial track record before getting the manager's job at one of the biggest clubs in Europe then?

Really had to work his way up to it did he?

Out of his depth. Probably thought I AM THE GREAT JOHN BARNES. I WILL ONLY MANAGE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE SIDES.

Needs a close encounter with a ragman's trumpet that bloke.

Same goes for Ian Wright.

Hmm and considering the black population of England isn't anywhere 25% (probs) I would say those are pretty favourable statistics.

FOOTBALL IZ RACIST GENST WHITE PPL.

If 25% of footballers in the Premier League are black then is it racist to say black people generally make better footballers than white people?

And, based on that, is it racist to say white players generally make better managers than black players?

Football management and coaching vacancies: quotas should be applied to boost the black presence up.

There, I've said it.

Wouldn't that be racist? I'm fairly sure that's also making decisions and giving advantages based on the colour of someone's skin.
