"former Polish footballer from Zaolzie"

[edit]

This is ludicrous. This article is about a person who was born in Czechoslovakia, represented Czechoslovakia and who has lived for most of his life in what is now the Czech Republic. The way to refer to such a person in an impartial encyclopedia is not saying he's Polish, but rather that he has Polish ethnicity. The Czech article says exactly that, and the leads in the German and Polish articles seem to be saying that as well - although my knowledge of these languages is limited. The articles about, say, Mesut Ozil and Lukas Podolski say that they're German, although they are members of ethnic minorities - Podolski was actually born in Poland. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Apolita (talkcontribs) 18:08, 16 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, I have changed the wording. What is really needed, is referenced material about his background. C679 08:44, 15 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
