I'm not sure that such blanket statements have a place in a 'caring' team. The - relatively - recent history of some countries does not always make for pleasant reading, regardless of how those societies presently function. I think individuals will value being treated as individuals rather than as products of their 'culture' (whatever DB understands that term to mean).<br />We've seen British teams come and go before. They too often started out with bold statements of ethical positions on this or that. <br />I do, though, wish the Sky team well and I sincerely hope that they are not setting themselves up for a bad fall.Art Vanderlayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04622978416288170406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355293153695438747.post-74334621005273590972009-11-22T13:06:12.277+00:002009-11-22T13:06:12.277+00:00He also seems to indulge in national stereotypes. ...He also seems to indulge in national stereotypes.

Accepting honours for best coach after the British Olympic success while not even holding that position with British Cycling was simply wrong. All in cycling know that Shane Sutton was the mastermind behind that success. Detail: Sutton is an Aussie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
