It is a fact that disproportionately few black football players
have ever been employed as managers or coaches, despite their
prominent presence on the field. How big a role does racism play in
contributing to this depressing statistic? 'Play the White Man' is
the metaphor King uses to explain how race, racism and inequality
operate. He looks at the pressures placed on black players to adopt
a culture dominated by white men in sport - in other words, 'to act
white' in order to be accepted. He focuses on how racism functions
when black players make the transition from the playing field to
coaching, management and administration, and are forced to perform
within the standards and systems set by white men who have
historically held these positions. King provides provocative
insights into the world of white-dominated British sport and raises
controversial questions that are important for anyone interested in
the game.
