Why are most French football players black?

Compared with other European national teams, the black players in the French national football team account for a large proportion. This is related to the special colonial history of France. There are mainly the following points:

1. France once established a vast colony in Africa, and once half of Africa was under French control. It is concentrated in Central Africa and East Africa, so the population exchanges between countries in the Middle East and Africa and France are relatively close. In addition, France is also relatively open, and many black football players will be born in France and belong to the second generation of immigrants. Most black football players who play for the national team have long realized that they are French. After all, for black people born in France, French culture has far more profound influence on them than their own culture.

2. Many blacks in France belong to the middle and lower classes and are not recognized by pure French. The economy is also relatively tight, so many black people are willing to let their children play football and change their destiny through football. In reality, there are also many successful examples of changing family destiny through football. It is football that gives them more dignity and better living conditions, and their love for football is deeper. In addition, the local French are very good at making children take football as their lifelong career. Over time, black players occupy a large proportion of the French national football team.

3. Black players have certain advantages in football because of their innate physical conditions. Football needs not only skillful skills, but also strong and agile physical talent. Black players are fast and tall, and they are obviously superior in football full of physical confrontation.

So it is not surprising that the French national football team is mostly black.
