The amount of white english players in the premier league

[vblockranger]

i used to be manager of Tandy's in Lewisham back in the early 90's and i spent a good portion of my week chasing thieves as they ran away from the shop. Even with a tv under their arm black people are FAST. Never caught one in 2 years of trying. Look at all the top track athletes at the olympics this year and i bet the majority are black. Just make better athletes.

That was tongue in cheek, but maybe white people are just greedier when it comes to wages so they don't progress as much because money does not grow on trees?

I know I know me old mucker only pulling ya plonker .

Personally, though, Id certainly say the greediness is totally the opposite to it being the whites that are as you say. Without wanting to open a whole new can of worms.

They never seem to well in the swimming though do they but seem to excel in working for BBC News programmes

im waiting! what is the point of putting up this thread?? have you got a agenda here?

I chuckled at this. Anyway, african genetics show them to generally have better and more type 2 muscles. Those used for power sports like sprinting and jumping. But whites predominately dominate heavy lifting (I don't know why) and swimming because our fat deposits are different. Honkeys store their fat over the top of muscles generally whereas (if you go to a gym you will see) a lot of black guys are generally ripped but might have high body fat...its just stored differently. And thus less boyent in water. Think there was a program about the slave trade also being involved in creating stronger faster black athletes with micheal johnson on the other day.

I haven't read the article or watched the show. But, there is the article for you.

[w12dave]

There been called for the football's governing bodies to do more to promote black coaches and managers from black and ethnic minority groups, look like we might need to do the similar kind of thing with white players at this rate

Truth to be told I didn't really notice there were less white players about until the op mention it

[Connell10]

looks like from the replies the op has got what he wanted! jesus wept!

You haven't noticed it because its not true.

35% of the Premier League are English (source: http://spiritofmirko.com/2011/07/26/...ague-20102011/ albeit based on starts rather than player count, but I doubt the two stats give very different results)

so that's 27% white and 8% non-white?

So roughly 75% of the English players in the Prem are white.

England is 82% 'white British' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_British). 82% of 35 is 29. So you might expect 29% of the premier league players to be white english, rather than 27%.

So white people are barely underrepresented. If you adjusted this for class, I'm sure it would be even more equal. Football in England is still almost solely played professionally by the working classes (when did you last hear a posh voice on MOTD? Kasper Schmeichal is the only one I can think of), and this of course skews ethnicity stats towards non-whites.
