Society is inherently inequitable, any sort of quota is always going to be a step up on the inequality that is baked right into our way of life. There's plenty of research to show that equality quotas work in actual fact.
And as to your other point, the reasons I think this is a pointless discussion:
a) I'm not going to convince you that you're wrong and you're not going to convince me that I'm wrong so we'll just go in a circle, and
b) As news said this is a football forum.
