Seriously you don't want to say people are racist but unless they say William and Chol aren't afl ready players then we are racist???I stand by original post, if William and Chol were from an anglo saxon background I think they both would have been drafted. Now I am not calling anyone racist, can't believe the tools who jumped to the conclusion and called me a racist. Surely they should be carded.
There was a time where indigenous players were not drafted due to the perceived cultural and behavioural issues. I feel we are going to need to have a number of Sudanese rookie listed players before clubs will confidently draft them.
I have seen racism from know it all white parents when picking Sudanese and African boys in teams. I also feel any of you who refer to Chol and William as project players are racist pigs. When was a white footballer last called a project player.
For a list of project players how about Dean Brogan, Jim Stynes, Tadgh Kennelly, Pierce and Cian Hanley (pretty much any Gaelic footballer), Daniel Merrett, Israel Falou, Karmichael Hunt, Mike Pike, any American basketballer trying to make the switch.
There would have been dozens and dozens or players who are labelled a project player over the years.
its not a derogatory term to say a player is a project player and you cheapen the efforts of the Sudanese players by claiming racism.
