[i]The former Italy manager Arrigo Sacchi has denied being racist after he was quoted as saying there are “too many black players” at youth level in Italy – evidence that the nation is now “without dignity or pride”.[i]
Is this the very definition of racism?
If the players are good enough, then what's the problem if they are black?
He can cherry pick from the bounty of hungry migrants desperate for a life that locals cant compete with. Not racist just sad he cant equal the talent from his kinsmen.
Someone please clarify so I understand. Is this Viarregio tournament open to teams that can field players from across the globe (like our league) and he's moaning that not enough white (presumably) Italians are making the effort to get selected or is it teams that must be made up of Italian nationals only and too many black Italians are getting in? Makes a huge difference to whether you think he's being offensive.
Nobody seems to care about any facts or context or even their understanding of Italian culture. All that matters is that we nail this racist to the cross with some very big ring wire bits of metal.

You are a hypocrite with a chip on your shoulder. If you are going to continue to bang the racist drum could you please alter your Avatar. I find it deeply offensive as since Robertson's Jam were advised to no longer promote the G**ly
badge promotion I feel a victim of prejudiice as I can no longer pass my collection on to my Grandchildren as I feel,in your eyes ,I am a racist.
