Borderline racist. I don't particularly care what colour they are.
It's not racist at all. Ill put it differently for you then. We are loosing players that have done well at leading the warriors and are picking up players that don't show as much leadership.
When it's said that the dark players we have (or who are coming) aren't leaders, while some of the white players are is not racist at all. It's speaking very specifically about what, less than 20 players? The most obvious of differences (skin colour) is being used to bunch them together, and this generalization within the squad actually makes sense - the best leaders in the warriors (Price, Mannering, Tate) all happen to be white. I mean, I don't see many people saying Wiki was a poor leader. He was dark-skinned but could lead the team when required and was a great player to boot.
This by no means says that there aren't good leaders out there who aren't white, nor does it suggest the majority of good leaders are white.
Personally I don't care what colour they are either. If there were blue players out there leading the team I wouldn't care - even if someone casually happened to point it out. Just irritates me how everything is misconstrued as racist or bordering it.
