Ok, maybe a country with a black majority would like to see more black people in the team, but why aren't they there? Is it because black people don't like the sport? IIRC the South African football team is mostly black, so it's certainly a possibility that they just don't like sports such as cricket and rugby and would rather play football instead. Or perhaps it's because there isn't the necessary infrastructure to properly develop good players in predominantly black areas? Well then why not invest more money in to those areas rather than trying to bring in artificial advantages/disadvantages based purely on someones skin colour? Just imagine if a country with a white majority like the US introduced new rules mandating that teams have to have a white majority. In european football there was talks about something like this (although it was based on nationality rather than race so wasn't anywhere near as discriminatory) but that was quickly shut down and deemed illegal. |
That still exists on a national club level though.
Limited amount of non-EU players
guaranteed amount of players from your own country
guaranteed amount of youth players
guaranteed amount of local players (= players that used to play for the club's youth team)
Those were examples based on laws set by some domestic leagues.
