England sport’s racial division

LONDON. – Craig Kieswetter was explaining how England’s cricket team had lost its way. “Success changed people,” he said. “Cliques developed. It grew worse. The Test players were together so much that, when the limited-overs players turned up, it felt like you were on the outside. The Test guys hung out with each other; the limited-overs guys hung out.”

Birds of a feather, in other words, flocked together.

It isn’t always healthy that way and Kieswetter believes team spirit suffered.

Sometimes, though, that’s just the way society is.

The English Football Association are mortified because photographs taken of the England Under-20 squad at lunch and in training show the players divided on racial lines.

One table is made up of black players, the other white.

There seems to be a split in the swimming pool, too, and on exercise bikes. – Mailonline.
