T&T's white Warrior.

Just FYI, I've written two pieces one the Birchall/race issue over on the T&T blog. You can check them out here and here. If you disagree with anything I've said, by all means comment

People talking about the headline is racist because they mention he is a white warrior...I personally don't think so, I was shocked to see a white man on the Field for T-N-T never thought it would happen as I have a partner who played for T-N-T and before a game in the oval some black teammates cornered him in the lockeroom and was addressed WHITE BOY  what de F%$k yuh think you doing taking a slot on the team. I love T-N-T and found it IRONIC that it was a white man to save Trinidad in the Bahrin game at home...I hope that because of Birchall more of the local white boys will get a FAIR  chance to represent T-N-T

I think you misunderstood

I dont think anybody is claiming they are racist, but the articles seem to have an undertone indicating that if it wasnt for this great white english player, T&T chances would have been nil or slim to none

Birchall is a cog in the machine of 11, you are correct in that, if it wasnt for that bahrain bullet we might not be here
On the other hand, other men score with games leading up to bahrain, so it is a team effort


Sorry to hear bout yuh pardner,, I sure he woulda gel wit de team eventually....maybe yuh could start correcting some ah dat info worldwide about 'the first white player in 60 years to play for T&T"

Reveal yuh pardner and let stacy put it on her blog...if say yuh breds play in de last 10 years or so

Hol it dong

I responded to a few of the comments about FIFA taking a stance against racism and then people complaining about the headline white warrior... When I read the article I didn't take it as if there was a great white player that saved T-N-T...I guess its like a court case you have many eye witnesses and they all see things differently....I think the bottom line is the world is used to seeing predominantly black players on Caribbean teams and to see a white man is novel and thus most story lines go that route...I am sure if there was a black ICE HOCKEY player Scoring goals like rain he would be making all the headlines at the Olympics ... Media keys on stories outside the norm...and a white player on the pitch for T-N-T is clearly outside the norm..

Truth be told, the hockey situation did happen. Jarome Iginla was rippin up de net for Canada a few years ago
They didnt really focus on the black thing as I guess they already did that when he first started playing for Calgary
