I'm not sure.
When you have an advantage then of pace you are more than likely to be utilised in an area where pace is more useful.
It's also a physical attribute rather than a skill. Black people make up about 35% of PL players but only account for 13% of the population. There are physical advantages to being black I'm sure of it when it comes to elite level sport.
I do agree about the old lazy comments you still hear it now about Murphy and used to hear it about Bothroyd. I think that is particularly unfair as when sprinting at high intensity you are not able to recover as quickly.
What I dont want now is people ticking stuff off. The commentators need more than this to help them like correcting themselves when a replay has shown them to be wrong.
Kenwyne springs to mind with 'lazy'. Though to be fair, it was also said about Whitts.

In what respect? I'm genuinely interesting to know.

Kenwyne wasn't helped by Ole's tactics but with his physique he was never going to sprint at high intensity.

To be clear, I wasn't calling him lazy. I just heard it said about him a lot.

Yeah, knew that. To a degree I think there was some validity to it. Yes, as I said the tactics didn't help but at times he didn't seem to bust a gut out there for us. I guess maybe he shut off due to the poor tactics possibly? Didn't do much in MLS after leaving us either.

I'd like to thank the Football Black List for their new award of Black LGBT Disabled person in football
For too long this category has been ignored and I've often wondered how football has survived without this award
Well done to all
