Lack of diversity in the FA?

[worcestersauce]

Sorry pal but 'positive discrimination' is a total folly! How can it be seem to be 'positive' to pick someone based purely on the colour of their skin over ability in todays world?
This is where so many people have got it wrong and leave the rest of the country shaking their head in disbelief at the sheer stupidity of this 'modern' world we all live in.

I would agree with you in a perfect world but it ain't a perfect world, the alternative to positive discrimination isn't that the best person gets the job, negative discrimination is widespread which means that the best person all too often doesn't get the job. Positive discrimination forces the selectors to consider those that are discriminated against, they therefore pick the best of those so ultimately the best candidate gets selected.
What I don't agree with is the argument that there are a certain percentage of this or that group therefore everything should reflect that, with that you could argue there should be less black players in the prem and half the players should be women.
