England manager Gareth Southgate has urged football to rid itself of its white privilege problem as he revealed he had witnessed the blockage of black coaches and staff from prominent positions.
With anti-racism protests spreading worldwide following the death of Minneapolis man George Floyd, the spotlight has turned to discrimination within the football world.
Manchester City star Raheem Sterling says tackling racism is the most important issue society faces and that he believes that former Three Lions stars Sol Campbell and Ashley Cole have been given fewer opportunities in their coaching careers than team-mates Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard.

First article I have seen where they didn’t say he was murdered. It’s a start.
Percentage of Blacks in Football compared to avg population representation?
Don’t they make millions?
Then give up your job, Gareth, put your money where your mouth is.
Oh, it’s soccer. From the headline I thought it was American football. I was going to say “What white privilege, there’s hardly any white people in the NFL?”
I think it’s the other kind of football. Still, I’m confused.
We have to out-Alinksy them.
“Black lives matter” is dog-whistle for “kill Whitey.”
Pass it on.
Eighty percent of NFL players are black. Now they want to pander to blacks and make them coaches even though they may not have the experience. True, there are some great black coaches but just to hire one because to fill a requirement?
What white privilege in football? That game is based on merit because there are huge dollars involved.
It’s getting that way in the English Premier League, as well.
“Kill Whitey” has become mainstream, unfortunately.
but just to hire one because to fill a requirement?
= = =
That word, ‘requirement’ is you-know-what privilege.
All whitey’s who post this nonsense all across the world in all fields should be first in line to give up their job...otherwise they should STFU
I thought the NFL at first too. It’s soccer.
Wonder where the “white privilege” is in the Chinese Super League? Or the J League in Japan?
Isn’t Europe indigenous to Whites? I fail to see the problem.
I didn’t realize Southgate was such a nasty limey eunuch.
Yeah, gotta quit fooling us using the word ‘football’ when they mean soccer.
F### football!
So that’d be black privilege - right?
