Ok Fitzy let me explain this topic really slowly to you....The topic discussion is about "Diminishing White South African footballers in South Africa". As I discussed, South African football fans (who are majority black) are concerned about the lack of White players in the PSL (South Africa top division). I've listed articles on the subject (so I'm not talking out of my rear)
Fans remember their football heroes (black and white) and wish to see more people participate (and wish to understand the reasons for the lack of participation) because they understand the benefits different peoples philosophies bring to the game. Think Brazilians football philosophy to English philosophy, they different but when you combine them (i.e. the many Brazilian players in European teams) it makes teams stronger. South African fans know that the last time their national team won a football title ( African Nations Cup 1996) the team was diverse (Neil Tovey was captain) and this is driving the fans demand to see more white players in South African football. People like winning lol
Yes like Brazilians, like the Japanese or players from Iran they all have different tool sets, mentalities, philosophies and characters that they bring to the game. In other words Fitzy "we" (the people having a discussion about this topic) are talking about bring people together (not apart), yes together to improve a team. Now I understand, like coochiee said, speaking openly about race is very difficult for many Kiwis, unlike South Africans (due to its history).
I hope this explanation helps. Please read those articles that I've listed above and if you wish to say "sorry" its ok mate, we all make mistakes :)
