Did you hear about these yet?

Really a shame they're turning the team into a political vehicle/equality campaign and consequently ruining the reputation of the 'Boks as a prestigious rugby team.
Hopefully if this isn't like the other times they've threatened to do this and they actually go through with it, the IRB steps in. There's no place for racial discrimination in the game. |

| Here in the US we also suffer from a recent epidemic of political correctness, not sure if it's as bad as it is in SA though. |

I don't see a single bit of racial equality in that kind of decision.
If anything, it's either specifically favoring black representation or forcing them to play a sport that they don't regard as highly as another, while at the same time it takes away roster spots from white players that may or may not be more skillful.
This is like if you forced Canada's hockey team to be 50% non-white. There is a way to make a decent team like it, but it just wouldn't be the best fit and would be a bad example of trying to implement racial "equality". |
