This is not the place to talk about anything regarding race in any societal issue, especially not in football lol. There’s no nuance. Whether this is actually an issue or not the level of discourse cannot fucking be “the number of black players on the men’s team surely is enough to balance it out!!”. Come on lmao…
All I will say is, even if unintentional, having a narrow scope in recruitment is not really helpful for a top level football club like Arsenal. People screaming about “merit” over “diversity” sure that’s logical if they are looking thoroughly enough and taking a wide as possible view in recruitment. If you narrow your view, you are naturally losing opportunities.
