British Pakistanis and Football

[Abid123]

There is prejudice and racism in football, south asians are seen as cricket players not football. The talent spotters normally ignore them, the FA conducted a study years back it was damning.

Very little has progressed since. I think it's a mix of not being taken seriously, prejudice, racism, cultural as asian parents also preferred their kids to do white collar jobs.

The England team does not represent me that's why I struggle to support them in football.

There is definitely racism in English football. For some reason many come up with this "inferior genetics" bullshit. Which is not true. Pakistanis are doing good in a sport like boxing which is tougher than Football.
