Deeply ironic that we are discussing racism at football just after the Football League have approved a discriminatory proposal based on race. Just another act that will further entrench racism in society. What proposal is that? I presume they mean an FL version of the 'Rooney' Rule from the NFL meaning at least one black or ethnic candidate has to be interviewed for a job
Clarke presented the following recommendations following a review which began in October 2014. •Introduce mandatory new recruitment practices in Academy football that would make it compulsory for clubs to interview at least one BAME candidate (where an application has been received) for all Youth Development roles requiring a minimum of a UEFA B coaching licence. The League should also set a target of between 10% and 20% (to be agreed in due course) of these positions being filled by BAME coaches by 2019.
•Adopt a Voluntary Recruitment Code for first team football under which clubs would commit to interview a BAME candidate (where an application has been received) for any managerial or coaching position except in the specific instance of an individual being recruited from another club on terms agreed between the two parties. It is anticipated this would be piloted by 5-10 clubs during 2016/17 ahead of wider adoption.
•Work with relevant stakeholders to introduce processes aimed at identifying current BAME coaches and players with the potential and aspiration to coach in professional football. This would include the creation of a ‘ready-list’ of qualified candidates to be used by clubs when recruiting.
•Cooperate with stakeholders to upskill potential candidates and provide suitable networking opportunities with club decision makers.

I assume it must be the Rooney Rule, as that was being discussed at one point.

What happens if someone like that stupid cow in the US, Rachel Dolezal, rocks up and claims to be Transracial.......a black person born in a white body? I think this may just be too complicated for mere footy folk !

Ah right. Alarmingly I am with Paul on this one. I am very uncomfortable with affirmative action, an idea well past its sell by date. A knee jerk reaction to something that cannot be cured by "niceness"
