Is it racist that the Argentina national football team didn't have any black players?

[Anonymous]

We could be talking about important issues like inflation, the fentanyl epidemic which is killing more than 100k Americans each year, the reindustrialization of America, the billions we gave Ukraine for its lost war, the homeless problem...

But since wokies exist to prevent us from talking about those matters, they raised one more stupid issue and habe been calling the Argentina national football team "not diverse."

As if France were diverse having only black players in its team. Does diversity mean no white people?

That said, should the Argentina national football team be condemned for not having black players?

[joeldalton]

This is earth shattering news! Way more important that the realization that the FBI corrupted our elections and the CIA killed a president of the United States.

[pers0n]

We can't be too certain about anything. Not saying it's wrong, but there is a controlled opposition disinforming along every step of the way.

[LiamJHayden]

Most of the people on here are in denial about the obvious conspiracy by the FBI to fix the 2020 election.

[Anonymous]

Personally, I was disgusted with the Ghanaian national squad having no white players.

Racists!

[Asker]

"NOT DIVERSE!"

Lol.

[FunkyMonkee]

I KNOW!! What up wid dat?

[mstbooblover]

Champions can be traditionally of any origin and choose for which nation or community they will take part in competitions. Up to Argentina to choose freely which players they want in their team. Let's just have respect for any good team having reached that level of practical competence.

[Asker]

Argentina deserved to win this world cup and I'm very happy for them.

[mstbooblover]

I'm not an expert in football, mais as far as I can judge, the match was very sportive and beautiful. Probably both teams were equally worth the victory. At last Argentina won. No doubt well deserved. Still keep in mind many teams deserve respect, and that's what sports should be about.

[Datboi65]

Argentina barely has any black people in it. France has somewhere around 7%, which is still a minority and are thus overrepresented in the French national team.

To tell you the truth, as a Black person I sometimes wish Black players will NOT represent white majority countries due to the racial abuse that the players will have to deal with if they lose. Knowing the racist nature of Latin America and what the Afro-Brazilians have had to deal with after they were knocked out by Croatia, I'm glad that Argentina team has no black players, or they would've been crucified after the loss to Saudi Arabia.

[Datboi65]

Two French players (Kolo Muani and Tchouameni) have had to disable their insta after getting a ton of racial abuse for losing the final. England's captain Harry Kane got tons of support from the England fans after missing a penalty, while Saka and Rashford got a ton of hate, despite their brilliant performances. This is no coincidence.

White countries do not deserve Black players.

[WhiteBoyChill]

I agree. Black players should start representing their own countries

[Datboi65]

@WhiteBoyChill You wanna know what's funny? You don't even watch football. The USMNT is also highly inclusive of black players, with 5 in the starting lineup, and that didn't happen by accident. Who are they gonna play for? Even if we put football to the side, the US wouldn't even be on the map for sprinting Olympics if it wasn't for Black people. Basketball as well. You're no better than France.

I don't think you really understand the implications of that for you, but I'm more than glad to see them represent their people and be celebrated for once.

[WhiteBoyChill]

No I was just saying that a lot of players on the European teams are actually originally from Africa

[Datboi65]

@WhiteBoyChill No shit Sherlock. For the same reason a lot of those who represent America are Black. It's not done out of generosity or kindness. To those people, you're only European if you WIN and if you lose, you're an IMMIGRANT. They are picked because they are the best for the job, and they wouldn't be if they didn't win the last world cup (2018) and reach the finals of this one. White people only put their egos to the side and select Black people to represent them when said Black players are far better, but if they are even on the same level, they wouldn't be selected. (This is not just unique to France, but they are the best example since most of their team is African)

The double standard is what makes everyone say that they don't deserve to have Black representation. Without African players, French football national team wouldn't be on the map, and without Black athletes, the US would barely be recognized in the Olympics.

[WhiteBoyChill]

You missed my whole point. I was saying Europe’s black players could represent African teams if they wanted to but they choose not to

[Datboi65]

@WhiteBoyChill I don't know if you're a bit slow or not paying attention. If they do not represent European teams, who do you think they would represent? Of course it would be African teams. The players that represent Europe do it out of a false dream and they realize the ugly truth. I just like other people am trying to raise awareness over the issue.

[WhiteBoyChill]

“I don't know if you're a bit slow or not paying attention.”

Strange. Because you literally repeated what I just said. I said the black players should represent African teams instead.

“If they do not represent European teams, who do you think they would represent? Of course it would be African teams.“

[Datboi65]

@WhiteBoyChill No, because it's too DAMN OBVIOUS. That's why I didn't mention it. I was more focused on Europeans and their double standards, but it doesn't take a genius to figure out that they would be playing for African teams instead if they don't play for European teams.

Besides, why do you care anyway? You are neither Black, nor European. You don't have a dog in this fight.

[BeMuse]

All you have to do is keep arresting the commies and eventually they'll run out of steam... Their propaganda is a result of their panic. When they are all jailed there will be none left to spew it... Ignore it and get the job done.

[jshm2]

No. As there is no policy against them. It's probably football not being a thing with Black Argentinians.

It's hardly "woke." But just Western media shitstirring and virtue signalling as neither their favourite or supporters won the world cup.

[Berethor]

Argentina have only 2.1% Africans, france is overrun by Africans, argentina is more european.

[FunkyMonkee]

Why does it matter?
Did you know that Fishbone never had any white people in their band? Mostly, because they ARE racist!! But, I guess THAT doesn't matter because it's coming FROM black people and, everybody KNOWS it's PERFECTLY FINE for black people to be racist!!
And, ya know what? Even though they ARE racist and I'm white, I STILL buy their records and go to their concerts!! And I'm still alive to talk about it!

[FunkyMonkee]

Here's another question for you: How many black players tried out for the team?

[Varanus]

Only if they black players tried out for the team, performed better, and weren't selected because they were black. As long as the team is choosing it's players based on skill, teamwork, etc, and not what color someone is, it ain't racist.

[Asker]

A white woman saying something that isn't utterly idiotic? Progress!

[Varanus]

And you had to go and ruin it with that comment...

[AngryCarl]

Since they just won the competition this isn't a good time to criticize their team selection.

[Asker]

Absolutely not. Argentina has the best national team in the world. Period. They are not missing out any black player.

[pers0n]

Probably there are less trannies too, I'm not certain though.

[HippieVeganJewslim]

If Argentina chooses Whites for its football team just because of their skin colour, aye aye! Like what Hermione Granger said, choose players for their talents: speed, power, force, reflexes, resilience, etc.

[Asker]

Dude, can you stop vomiting ignorance on this app for a minute?

[FunkyMonkee]

I didn't spot any ignorance. in HIS comment.

[HippieVeganJewslim]

The difference between knowledge and ignorance is that the former is limited.

[LiamJHayden]

Argentina: White (mostly Spanish and Italian) 97%, mestizo (mixed white and Amerindian ancestry), Amerindian, or other non-white groups 3%

[KostasKouvalis]

Kind of hard to get black people to play for your team when you don't have any

[Anonymous]

So you prefer black people be standing there like a tree to prove they are not racist
or because this black player deserves it..
if they don’t have any then no one is qualified for them

[Asker]

I don't agree with liberals. I think they're pathetic for making a fuss over it.

[WhiteBoyChill]

I don’t know maybe because 97% of Argentina is white people 😂

[Tiger288]

I don't think they are racist and they don't have much black people in their country.

[Dargil]

Because they recruit skill, not woke.

[Asker]

And that's why they won, whereas Germany only embarrassed itself.

[FunkyMonkee]

THAT'S a racist statement!! You're saying that teams with blacks on them can't win?

[Dargil]

@FunkyMonkee. nope.

[Anonymous]

No, its not racist, unlike France which was ultra racist

[Anonymous]

Argentina is a white country.

[_Troian_]

Why would they need to have black players.

[Anonymous]

It isn't

[Asker]

So why are liberals making a fuss over it?

[FunkyMonkee]

That's what liberals do!! Haven't you noticed?
