We all know the FA love political correctness and OTT examples of equality, so here is an honest question. Will the FA secretly favour us for having a front 3 of black players? Will we be the new referee lover boys? Should we flaunt this?
Are you saying that teams with black players get preferential treatment? Or should get that? So you think that the FA is wrong to tackle racist behaviour ? Honestly I do not think that even for the three players you single out this is a laughing matter. This is the sort of thread that after the Suarez episode gives us a bad reputation. It is not funny nor lighthearted to make fun of efforts to tackle racism. Yesterday I said that threads that have racist connotations should be closed. This type of thread goes nowhere. I am waiting with trepidation to see what the mods do.
I see JK's point, clubs are constantly criticised over the ratio between black/minority players and white players in their squads, mainly by the organisation that wanted Suarez to receive a harsher punishment over the Evra incident. I think JK thinks a pat on the back is in order, if I'm wrong JK tell me.
I never said the FA Carl, I mentioned Kick It Out, but as I said I was only guessing JK's main point.
He was clearly pointing to the fact that our front three strikers are black and that somehow this should be highlighted. Why? This is a silly suggestion.
Why is it silly ? 3 seasons ago piara powar or whatever the **** his name is was mouthing off because we had only 1 black first teamer who we as a club forced to wear a suarez t shirt.
Look. I do not wish to be a killjoy but I am always weary of threads that have racism as an issue (same as politics and religion)
