It’s a shame it’s like brain drain but it’s athletic drain. Niggas get a deal to go to Europe and they run with the quickness
They get them to play for their National team yet many of these Western European Countries drain their African Countries resources and wealth.
This has been a major issue in Western Europe, been especially significant in France. I was in France months after they won the World Cup in 1998. The French white people were happy they won, but minimised the contributions of the African players in the French team. Full disclosure, the part of France were I was staying, the people there were ambivalent. The African players are not considered "real" French.
Gonna go on a slight tangent here. In England, it is assumed that any Black footballer born or raised in England will want to play for the national team. However, when the footballer Wilf Zaha chose to represent Ivory Coast he was insulted and gets constant abuse on social media. Another example, Bukayo Saka is from a Nigerian family and plays for the England national team. He gets racially abused online. There is not one high profile black player in England that does not get targeted in one way or another. Bringing it back to France, a large number of black players want to play for the French national team instead of representing their origins.They get them to play for their National team yet many of these Western European Countries drain their African Countries resources and wealth.
