The Netherlands used to be a colonial power.... they are now using their history to improve their soccer team...

All my grandparents and my mom were born in the Netherlands. If they were alive, I am sure they would be puzzled lol

Do you have this same thought when you look at the USA Basketball team?

I thought you guys were into meritocracy?




Basketball has been discriminating against White Americans for decades now.

Look at all those proud Dutchmen.


Blame the Olympics. The rest of the World got tired of the US winning all the medals that aren't weirdo Nordic sports....so they imported faster athletes once doping got harder and made babies.

They could be like Ernie Stewart who played for the US. Grew up in the Netherlands and was the product of a Dutch mother and US servicemen and had been playing professionally for the Dutch

Some may be from the Dutch Antilles like Aruba. Curacao or Bonaire and have been Dutch for generations

Or

They could be like Eddie and Alex Van Halen.

I feel like the Dutch have had more black players than I would have guessed for the last 35 years at least.

Dude, I’d guess that 80% of the Dutch population is white. If they can’t earn their spot on the national team, then that’s their problem. It’s not bc of “hatred of white men.” Turning that picture into your stance just means you need to get out more.

Damn, you can’t even give black people the nod when it comes to athletics


Everything I said is reality, and the picture in the OP is a reflection of that reality.

The replacement of white people via immigration is a major political issue of our time. Perhaps the most significant political issue, in fact.


If you made a top 10 of Dutch players, 1/2 of them would be black, and this is dating back to the 70s. This has nothing to do with replacement of europeans over the last 10 years.

nothing

People on here bitch and moan about DEI and people getting jobs they 'don't deserve'.....then when athletic organizations recruit the best players available, they lose their hillbilly minds.


We're talking about countries, not sports organizations. No one is complaining about Africans playing for European teams in the premier league.

I'm going to guess that you also think wanting American companies to hire Americans instead of foreigners is DEI, too, but that would be a dumb take as well.

The 1998 team (one of my GOATs) had a bunch of black players like Seedorf, Davids, Kluivert, etc.

The captain in the back (the tall guy) who is not the goalie is named Virgil van Dijk. He is at least half Dutch probably.

This Dutch guy is one of the best ever. Johan Cruyff was an absolute legend.
