This new topic aims at speaking about societal problems in French soccer (like racism, islamization,... )
To begin with,a lot ofmembers wonder why there are not many white players in the French team.
There are several explanations, but one of the most relevant is not "political correct".
I posted a video on a topic ("French black players" but I think it wasn't the most appropriate topic) which explains a part of the problem.<O></O>

Journalist: So, it's the whites! It's the white guys who are suffering from racism!<O></O>
Dhorasoo: Yes! Obviously!<O></O>
Journalist: I think that Domenech [the former trainer of the French national team] is in politics when he selects almost only black players, isn't he?<O></O>
Dhorasoo: I reckon that the problem begins earlier.
Soccer is a popular sport in the (problem) areas which there are lots of Blacks and Arabs.
The little white guy arrives at a place with clans and gangs.[PS; I'm not sure that this sentence is correct in English]
And one day he will stop playing soccer because he sees he doesn't have his place there, he will not be protected if there were a problem "¦<O></O>Edited by: Lisa D
