He is a regular on ITV though so I don't think he really falls under the point HF was making.Stani Armyhttp://www.staniarmy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4157334771526760271.post-84342555054808566962010-06-13T21:47:29.484+01:002010-06-13T21:47:29.484+01:00but Earl is a Jamaican???but Earl is a Jamaican???hammalotnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4157334771526760271.post-86788409235784062732010-06-13T21:09:31.605+01:002010-06-13T21:09:31.605+01:00Look at Edgar Davids tonight.

Because people from different cultures bring different ways of looking at things. It just happens to be that they're in Africa so that would mean people of African origin. BBC did have that Soufrican rugby player on though and he was white.<br /><br />In defence of ITV, the Earle of Robbie and Desailly have worked for them for a while now.<br /><br />Adebayor has made some good points (Argentina game) yet he speaks very fast.<br /><br />But you are right, if this tokenism does exist then it is racist.Stani Armyhttp://www.staniarmy.comnoreply@blogger.com
