[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 711016, member: 39190"] Why must millions upon millions be paid to artificially attempt to grow a sport rather than address real issues? I can assure you if rugby dies in SA it'll be because of this. SA rugby is doing just fine picking the best players. Best way to bring in fans is to be successful IMO. I'll ask you, is the NFL seen as a black sport in the US because teh best players are black? Does the fact that 90% of players are black discourage white viewers? Same here. There are tons of black fans of a majority white Bok team. There are tons of white fans of black players- Habana, Beast and Vermeulen are my favorite players. 2 of them are 'black' (our government actually counts neither as Habana is mixed race and Beast was born in Zimbabwe) and both of them are there on merit. More will come naturally. Being token-ized is actually a salp in the face of those black players, both those deserving and those who don't. Its simply an injustice to everyone concerned. Simple as that. The white population is up by ~400% from a hundred years ago and is actually currently the biggest gainer %-wise currently (factors include white expats returning and an increasing birth rate which I find quite interesting). The reason the stats might show a decreasing white population is due to the fact that from a 100 years to now the black population has increased 2500% vs thew hite increase of 400%- so essentially a 6x bigger growth through a combination of birth rate and immigration.
