I’m watching a football match, and a black goalkeeper is guarding one of the goals. This seems to be very rare by my observation.
For example, in the 100m dash, all the recent Olympic and World champions have had Afro-Caribbean ancestry.
Why are so few goalkeepers at high level football black? Is there reputable scientific evidence that indicates a physiological difference between the different races which impacts their goalkeeping ability, or is the difference down to cultural factors?
Its just a choice they make when they first start playing. Most of black football players tend to play strikers, midfielders, or defenders. There's definitely a big number of black goalkeepers it's just that they might not be playing in big clubs at the moment (Although there are some that do).

Carlos Kameni - Fenerbahçe SK (Turkey)
Francis Uzoho - Elche CF

I think there's also a reverse bias / selection reason. When a certain group is known for certain qualities, either due to fact or stereotypes, the market is more willing to hire people from that group for certain positions, and people from that group in turn are more likely to engage in career path that lead to that certain position.

Its just like quaterbacks , its a thinking rooted in racism that white people make better decisions.
