Two pictures are spreading on Facebook - somewhat memetic - in connection with yesterday's World Cup final. One shows nine dark-skinned French players next to nine white Argentinian soccer players, and the other shows the all-conquering Lionel Messi walking hand in hand with the sad Mbappev.
The latter image speaks of the greatness of sport, of solidarity against the loser. The other picture, on the other hand, is that most of the players playing football in the French top flight are not native French. Of course, this is not a problem in itself, since Kylian Mbappé Lottin himself considers himself primarily French, even though his father is from Cameroon and his mother is from Algeria. The best European footballer says this about himself:
Je suis né en France, j'ai grandi en France, la France m'a tout donné. Et j'essaie de le lui rendre, chaque fois que je joue pour l'équipe nationale. Je pense que mon amour de la France n'est plus à prouver. Jouer pour la France, c'est au-dessus de tout. »
that is: "I was born in France, I grew up in France, France gave me everything. And I try to give back to him every time I play for the national team. I don't think my love for France needs to be proven anymore. Playing in France is above all else. "
At the same time, the featured image also carries a message, namely that dark-skinned professional footballers with an immigrant background are rather overrepresented in the French team. And to the rebuttal that, of course, because they are the most talented, it could also be said that it is unlikely in terms of their population ratio. I hear that one of the progressives shouts: numerus clausus, but I say that there is no need for positive discrimination in sports. There, the final game is played on the green grass. The photo of the Argentines also shows that skin color does not matter.
I don't even dare to think that the same poster for the picture above says that it can be humiliating for the BLM and other "human rights" organizations that a white winner leads a black loser by the hand. Isn't this thought just my stupid, ugly assumption.
And for that I really apologize!
