Germany in the 2014 FIFA World Cup final. Here's their starting line-up: 9 whites, 1 Turk, 1 Mulatto... Eloratings.net

Palmer is a quadroon; his grandfather is black.

Further to my point; the Golden Boy Award has been awarded every year since 2003 and goes to the best player under the age of 21 who plays in a European nation's top tier. 8 of the 21 winners have been black; that's 38%: 1. Anderson - 2008 2. Balotelli - 2010 3. Pogba - 2013 4. Sterling - 2014...

Since the Ballon d'Or opened up to non-European players in 1995, no right back has finished top 5 in voting; Carvajal is highly likely to change that this year. In fact, in that same period, only two full backs have finished top 5; Maldini and Roberto Carlos, both of whom played left back...

Adesanya has now lost comfortably to two former welterweights; DDP and Strickland. He should've also lost to another former welterweight; Whittaker, but the judges gifted him the decision.

He'd be considered non-Hispanic white on the US census; as would Salah, Benzema etc... but Europe has stricter definitions; even guys like Pirlo (part Sinti) and Beckham (part Jewish) wouldn't be considered fully white by many.

10 of the 11 Euro MVPs have been white. Zidane being the one non-white.

Pedri is from the Canary Islands; Canarians are typically around 33% North African descent.

Of the four semi-finalists, here are the number of white starters they had in the quarters: Spain - 8 - Simon, Cucurella, Laporte, Le Normand, Carvajal, Ruiz, Rodri, Morata England - 5 - Pickford, Stones, Rice, Foden, Kane Netherlands - 3 - Verbruggen, de Vrij, Schouten France - 2 - Theo...

Hispanic isn't a race, it's a culture. Reyna is white Hispanic.

I question the true ability of those three, plus Ziyech, because Ajax looked even better, shortly after they'd all left, they just didn't go as far in the UCL because they had tougher matchups.

The best USMNT side was Bruce Arena's team in the qualification stages of World Cup 2006, which ironically Berhalter was part of. The starting line-up was overwhelmingly white: 7 Whites - Keller, Berhalter, Hejduk, Ralston, Lewis, Donovan, McBride 2 Blacks - Onyewu, Beasley 2 Hispanics -...

There's a very good chance we'll have whites finish 1st and 2nd in MVP voting in 2024. That's only happened 3 times in NBA/ABA history: 2007: 1st Dirk (Germany) 2nd Nash (South Africa) 1957: 1st Cousy (USA) 2nd Pettit (USA) 1956: 1st Pettit (USA) 2nd Arizin (USA)

The Mavs aren't doing well enough for Luka to win. Jokic is a huge favorite for MVP. Jokic's biggest competition is Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who's the best player on the team with the best record in the West, but while he's a very good player, Shai just isn't talented enough to win MVP. He'd...

The reigning MVP, Joel Embiid, even admitted that Jokic is the best player in the league... https://www.theringer.com/2024/1/19/24044268/joel-embiid-claims-nikola-jokic-is-the-best-player-in-the-league

When Jan beat Izzy, the excuses were acceptable; "Jan's a bigger man", "Izzy is inexperienced in grappling"; but Strickland is smaller than Izzy (Strickland fought at 170 lbs) and attempted 0 takedowns, yet still easily beat him. By consensus; it was 4 rounds to 1. It was a walkover.

Whites only make up about 8% of South Africans, plus their talent pool is spread thinner, since they generally play more sports; soccer, rugby, cricket, tennis and golf. Their national teams in rugby and cricket are slightly above 50% white, while almost all their elite tennis players and...

Since 1990, only 7 non-black players have been selected 1st or 2nd overall in the NBA draft: Chet Holmgren - 2022 - 2nd Andrea Bargnani - 2006 - 1st Andrew Bogut - 2005 - 1st Darko Milicic - 2003 - 2nd Yao Ming - 2002 - 1st Keith Van Horn - 1997 - 2nd Shawn Bradley - 1993 - 2nd Flagg is...

Congrats to Dennis Schroder on being the only black guy in the last 20 years to become a world or Olympic basketball champion playing starters' minutes in the final, for a team that wasn't the USA. 2023 FIBA World Cup winner Germany's top 5 minutes leaders in the final: 1. Dennis Schroder -...
