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.

They are discussing “Football” Europe and the UK which is, as you know, “football” to them.
That threw me at first, too, and I had the same reaction as you.
What’s he talking about?! The entire field is practically black these days and... oh... he’s talking about FutBol...
Never mind...
British and European soccer. Not American football.
I think you mean Black Lives Matter is dog whistle for “gimme dat”
Lots of privilege there, huh?
Actually, those are all rather privileged guys to reach the national level. They should al relinquish their positions to lower-grade players.
The black population of England is about 2.8%. About the same or less in Europe.
Somebody else thought it was American football. If it’s soccer say soccer. Yes I am aware it’s called football in Europe or “Footie” as it’s sometime called.
Just where the hell is the “white privilege”? It’s tough for a white guy to get onto a pro football team.
We are witnessing mass insanity, It has happened before and the world some how survived. Also stupidity, evil, and brutality.
Nero, Islam, Caligula, Genghis Khan, Mao,Stalin. Pol Pot, Hitler. I am going to leave out Mussolini because I don’t think he was as bad as they say tho I am sure there are other evil one.
Right now Organized Traitors Have sprung a trap which has been planned for some time. The spark they chose was a weak one but it was enough. They aren’t quite at the tipping point yet and they will probably fail but they definitely gaining strength.
England... what they call football... we call soccer.
No, you can’t have it.
I totally agree.
I don’t believe white people should be allowed to play, coach or watch football.
What do you say, Garote?
This is an ENGLISH soccer problem.
It is of no concern to this American.
They have the Rooney Rule in the NFL which is basically affirmative action, stating the you must interview an Afro-American for an open head coach job.
Now they are proposing that the team gets extra draft picks if the hire an Afro-american
That is just asking for a law suit
Communist kickball.
I have Negro News fatigue...
Who are the great Black Coaches?
Hmmm, will the B-word become like the N-word?
Mucho sarcasm, destined to become reality in two days.
It isn’t a soccer or football problem.
It’s another steaming pile of Black racist bullshit.
