My Soccer/Football brehs, why are there so many French-born/foreign-born African players?

[BlackAchilles]

I don't get post like this. So you mean to tell me, you know everything about everything.

Yes

Nah but seriously Americans are mad ignorant about demographics both at home and abroad, it's rather unfortunate

 

[steadyrighteous]

wow, this the homely chick all that fineness chose to marry?

Giroud ain't exactly a faithful husband in these streets.

You've still got a shot

 

[BaggerofTea]

Breh shut up.

I'm trying to have a curious, honest conversation about postcolonial sports and you came off the bat trying to battle me.

Are you black?

I like how you resorted to question a posters race when your dumbass logic got exposed

 

[Goat poster]

Slavery and colonialism are cut from the same cloth.

This is like asking why so many black players are on team USA Basketball.

There have been black people in France for Generations.

What a dumb ass thread.

Dumb Thread.

Of course they do, they lose their star player to the African Cup of Nations for a month.

Are you being intentionally retarded breh?

So no other player goes away for a month?

Footballers are human, not property.

What a dumb ass thread.

Dumb Thread.

Explain how it's dumb.

The question was answered and he still continued arguing.

His questions shows he has little to no idea about the colonization of Africa by Europe. Thats years of education that he either didn't retain or didn't get. That concerns me about our educational system. Nothing to do with someone being smarter than someone else, and everything to do with our system failing people. Knowing history does not make you smart or intelligent. It just makes you learned.

Look at my signature quote and custom title, breh.

i know the reason why there are French-born African players, I just wanted you guys to talk about it.

This thread is exposing you Euro-negros and your affinity for Europe.


Thinking AFCON should cater to the English schedule.

GTFOH.

Wrong, but do you.

African Cup of Nations finally moved away from mid-season

 

[Blackrogue]

Just noticed the surge of Euro-Africans in the last couple years.

You see a player with a FULL African name, assume they're from Nigeria, Ghana, Senegal, etc. You look at their POB and turns out they're from France or Belgium.


Look at the French National Team,

France importing their talents from francophone Africa...

The after-effects of colonialism is real.


Shout outs to the African players that choose to play for their parent's country.

Are the likes of Didier Drogba, Samuel Eto'o , the Toure brothers, etc disappearing?

Top african players end up in Europe. Most likely to country that speaks same language they do.. Then you find at the African national team level.. Some players grew up in Europe and learnt playing there. The academies are better. When they come of age they chose to play for their national team. Two reasons. National pride... Second reason is they might have a hard time making that specific countrys squad and not have that on their resume

 

[Blackrogue]

who is number 9?

:Mexicoom:

 

[mbewane]

Brehs are still surprised there's Black people in France?

 

[CoochieMane]

This isn't new, France's team has been like this for years.
What was funny was that time when almost every national team had a Brazilian on it.
