Former Arsenal manager says football is anti-racist 'because it's only based on merit and quality'. FMTNews PremierLeague Racism Football

Wenger says football is an example of how society should work because it’s merit-based.

Soccer players have shown their support for the movement and Wenger believes the fact that so many black players have made the grade shows the sport does not suffer from racism. “And I would even say that football is an example of how the whole of society should work, because it’s only based on merit and quality. If you’re good enough, you play.

Wenger, however, warns that those roles should also be filled on merit, not because of pressure to be inclusive. “Sol Campbell is a manager – I hope he will make it at the top level and I heard he’s doing very good work. It’s a kind of humiliation to say you just got this position because of where you’re from. Personally, I fight for the merit.”
