Every Western countries team should look like this. All White.

No, they should look like where they’re from, not just white. Look at the Danish team that won the euros in 1992 (only team to ever win it having failed to qualify) - it was just a sea of blonde. Even someone with brown or black hair would’ve stood out like a sore thumb. Fast forward to the WC winning French team of 2018 and it’s just a sea of Africans. Even their 1998 WC winning side couldn’t garner much support from the French public cos they were viewed as a bunch of Algerians. International sport will die if people don’t feel their actual nation is being represented. And it’s not like the purple haired crowd or soy sipping crowd are going to fill the stadia in lieu of the actual fans.

It would be like japan winning something and the entire team is blonde haired people or africans.

So long as there are no other options people will still go watch sports no matter how much propaganda they push. There needs to be a new league that has ethnicity rules. Or people need to get a life and stop watching sports ball.

Absolutely. I really used to love sports, not really soccer, but many other types of sports. It took a little time but it wasn’t that hard to live without it. It also helps that I have a natural instinct to reject things that hate me. Like most people should have but many don’t because they get mesmerized by the tube.

The thing with soccer is there’s always other options though. So if people lose interest in the international game they’ll just follow the club leagues instead. Tickets for games in England got too expensive for ordinary fans years ago so a lot of English on the south coast took to following French sides instead. When the higher league clubs started clamping down on the hooligans a lot of them just started following lower league or non-league clubs without the resources to deal with them.

It’s not like North America where there are just a small number of cosseted teams competing in a single competition. Soccer is all based on pyramid systems (except in the US of course) and always separated by national boundaries (which is a hard and fast rule, UEFA usually come down hard on any countries trying to unite their domestic competitions).

Just like the NFL death nail. It's coming. Haven't checked the stats but football is pretty much dead from what I've seen of people telling them fuck off.
