First XI for this month's All-Star game in Philadelphia (MLS Stars vs. Chelsea) have been announced and it's mostly whites, which is good to see, particularly with all the wildly over-hyped Africans the league has imported and goes out their way to promote via the media (check the Nike ads):
Only 3 Non white starters are: Steven Beitashour; Dwayne De Rosario and Thierry Henry.
Some might deem Beitashour white, but he's Iranian-American. De Rosario's parents, I believe, are from Africa, but he's clearly not black....or white. Not sure what his deal is, but he's had a great season for D.C. United and deserved to make the first XI....Henry's had a good season, also, but his own Red Bulls teammate (Kenny Cooper) has scored more goals and been more durable.
Considering the starting XI is so white, it will be interesting to see who the league's resident cultural Marxist Sunil Gulati picks as reserves to fill out the roster? No doubt he'll select several overrated louts (i.e Darlington Nagbe) in hopes of making the team more "diverse"?
That said, most of the top forwards in MLS that did not make the First XI are white: Kenny Cooper, Robbie Keane, Chris Pontius, Will Bruin, Danny Koevermans, ect. Brek Shea, Davide Chiumiento, Kyle Beckerman and Brad Davis are talented, white midfielders worthy of making the squad and playing in this friendly as reserves.
