Black players are better athletes and therefore dominate selection.
Hmmm...normally I'm like a human edition of Searchlight when it comes to racism, but I'm not sure about the athlete thing. Are black people generally better at sprint events? I have no problem with people saying white people make the best swimmers.
Did'nt Michael Johnson do a programme about this last week, and investigate the fact that in the last Olympic 100M Final ALL of the competitors originated from West Africa.He linked it with slavery and social engineering. Also 90% of the best long distance runners originate from East Africa, and the best weight lifters come from Central Europe, Northern Turkey etc, whys that then?

I've probably explained that all wrong but a lot of research has been done on it and you can google it for more information.

Sorry - I have fast twitch fibres in my racist bullshit detection muscles this morning.
