KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Racism in football

thats the kind of fear talk that leads to more proactive racism to be honest. I'm not saying that you are racists or will ever be racist but thats the kind of sentiments the likes of the BNP feed off of

All I ask is fairness everyone is treated the same. Thats not whats happening now with pressure groups trying to get people with elevated status. Quotas for black football managers will be with us soon or rather there are pressure groups trying to force it. It was suggested on football focus on saturday

I agree with you on equal treatment for all and I am 99% sure without ever having met you that you are in no way racist. There are people though who can have their national pride used in a negative sense by far right wing groups and distinguishing a difference between different races plays into their hands.

I am completely against any sort of quota system for anyone in any branch of work because it automatically gives people a stick to beat you with if you got the job as part of a race quota, whether or not you deserved it regardless they will always think negatively about it

I think if there is one sure way to get support for far right groups is that if there is perceived unfairness or some taking advantage of the political climate to pull a fast one. As for black managers under quotas I cannot think of anything potentially a bigger disaster its bad enough for managers generally but goodness knows what it would be like for the poor chap if fans thought he had been installed to meet a race quota. But some in the game are seriously talking about this.

..or are they just taling about it to give the impression that they 'care'?

Quotas is one sure way to inflame racism even more.

The best man gets the job is the only criteria irrespective of race, gender, religion = Fairness in my book.
