Race has nothing to do with it. Diversity these days mean no whites especially straight.
I can't name any footballer. The NBA is very diverse with blacks and whites, of course there are more blacks because they are generally faster and taller than whites.

A scottish reporter says that there is a lack of diversity in the England team. Well it is true, there is. Is it a problem? No. If they had 11 black players would they complain about the lack of diversity no. I think that this is just a bitter scottish reporter trying to dampen the mood. How many black players are there in the Scotland Men's team, not many is the answer. Not many black women are interested in playing and/or excel at football in England.

Only the BBC could of made the football a race issue. Surely you want the best XI to be on the pitch on a specific match ?
Politics and sport do not mix.
It's a refreshing change to see an English sporting success that isn't based on very vague connections to England, such as Mo Farah, Emma Radacanu, Cameron Norrie, and Johanna Konta, all using the UK as flags of convenience.
A lot was made of one of the presenters saying that there was a lack of diversity in women's football, obviously exaggerated by right-wing tabloids. This is an interesting point considering how diverse the men's game is, though not a problem, we should obviously pick the best xi.
Then why mention diversity in the first place it's irrelevant. You're either good at sport or you're not
