Where would we all be without the intrusion of the strictly politically correct during this fantastic world cup competition?
When a writer for the Guardian looks at the English football team, he doesn’t see 11 human beings. Instead, he assesses the team by their political, racial and cultural characteristics. Racist! I hear you cry. From their perspective, the World Cup has little to do with football; rather, it serves as yet another battlefield on which the cause of identity politics and multiculturalism might be advanced.
Identitarians and their bosom buddies in the media never turn down an opportunity to remind people that the staging of the World Cup in Russia has provided Putin with an opportunity to promote his propaganda. I haven't seen any propaganda at all, have you?
Western newspapers and NGOs then warned fans to stay away from the World Cup because of the threat they would face from xenophobic Russians. Having failed to discover any lynch mobs, the culture warriors turned their fire against another cultural crime committed by Russia – the fact that its football team does not subscribe to the dogma of multiculturalism and is too white.

Russia’s National Team Is Too Russian, Which Is One Reason It Will Bomb out of the World Cup
Diversity test. Which team is full of racists?
Russia
Senegal
Had Mother Jones bothered to find out about the Russian team it would know that the team was comprised of ethnic Ukrainians, Ossetians, a Belarussian, a Tatar, a Chuvazh, a Yakut, an Azerbaijani, and a naturalized Brazilian.
Senegal, however had no diversity at all, only Senegalese. By Mother Jones terms, Senegal's national team is too Senegalese.
