Decent Deadspin Article on FIFA and Nationality

It makes good points about how nationality is a ephemeral concept. If FIFA makes it into a set standard by citizenship standards like jus sanguinis or jus soli it would lead to way too many exceptions.
The article wanders a bit, but ends by making a good counter to the French FA trying to set quotas on minority players in youth academies. It looks super racist and xenophobic and completely contradictory to the ideal of football as a tool for breaking down barriers.
