That's how recruiters think, not me. Willy Sagnol got in trouble for stating his opinion about that 3 years ago
What do you mean "recruiters"?
"most people see black players as physical first."
You said, it... You did not attribute the sentiment to anyone else.
There's a reason someone would get shit for saying that... It's because it's unfounded bollocks.. A myth you're post happily perpetuates further (it's not like you were questioning the sentiment is it?).
Edit: Bordeaux coach Willy Sagnol apologises for 'African' remark
Your reference is way off anyway...
Sagnol was the one perpetuating the racial sterotype about players... WDF you even talking about?????
the premise is ill conceived and incorrect and a barrage of people are telling him this, and cunting him off. Education and the stick is better than sweeping it under the carpet. It s a great thread as it shows most on here are decent types (even though they try the best not to show it) and also highlights the proper wronguns.
source?
There you go. Pick the bones out of that. Quite a few skilful players in this list. A lot of them a 'real' black (whatever this means)
You do talk a load of nonsense!

Shades of black - UGA Today
Everyone knows about the insidious effects of racism in American society. But when it comes to the workplace, African Americans may face a more complex situation-the effects of their own skin tone.

Mostly American based but I think it's applicable to Europe and else where.
I like that you crossed out Sol Campbell.

We live in the UK, the US have their own issues.
I think the UK largely mirrors U.S society. It's the least racist country in Europe but there are still problems.
Here is a uk based article.
Watch dark-skinned girls react to discrimination in their own community
This new film explores the prejudice that black girls often face from black men and how they deal with it
But darker black players get it worse, thats also a fact
Fair do’s but I don’t believe it’s either cutting him off or sweeping anything under the carpet.
It just seems as if it’s shoehorning a situation that isn’t relevant into an issue that doesn’t apply.
How the 'natural talent' myth is used as a weapon against black athletes
Slurs and racism are routinely hurled at minority athletes, and the media often help fan the flames of abuse

It's not what I think, but it's true. I'm from France and most people think that blacks dominate most sports, which is why they have an advantage in the athletic world but a disadvantage in the corporate world. Griezman, who was seen as a sissy white boy as a teenager didn't have a lot of success in academies and most scouts didn't want to recruit him. They thought his body was going to be a massive disadvantage. It's how people think, unfortunately
