Nothing to with why a team has little or no minorities in 2020, and whether it’s an extension of the community as a whole in the light of an racist incident. Burnley has a 12% minority population, about average for the U.K. as a whole, yet only one black player and two of mixed race. A coincidence or a specific policy by a manager that continually moans about divers and cheats, usually foreign players. Is the signing policy because of this? That's a fecking scandalous post.
