Amir Khan: excuses and poor diet restricts Asians reaching the pinnacle of sport | Everything 9000 Podcast | Cloud 9000

Welcome to episode 30 of the Everything 9000 Podcast where we discuss relevant hot topics across the news and UK culture.    Amir Khan said the following in a recent interview:  - "they all want to try now";   - "People used to say: ‘We are Muslim, we are Asian, we can’t make it in boxing. We’re not going to be picked.’ It’s an excuse that all Asians use – that we’re never going to be picked."; - "Look at football, for example. There are no Asian footballers [in Britain] but guess what they all say? ‘We won’t get picked because we’re Asian.’ I think that’s a f***ing load of bulls***, really. It’s a load of b****cks. Asians, when we can’t to a certain extent, give up. We don’t have it in us."; - "It’s curries. It’s not the right diet to be a champion. If you put us against a lot of English fighters their diet is a lot better. They’re stronger than us."   We discuss whether Asian's are dedicated enough to reach the pinnacle of sport or if we blame factors such as racism too easily.   Hosted by - Aman - @birminghman        Guests - Amrit - @itsamritrai  / Ishan - @ishannandra     Don't forget to like, comment and subscribe!
