Racism at Yorkshire CCC

You like a full story?

simple question: who hasn’t produced the report?

Of course you are. But at least your fellow Yorkshiremen on here have recognised the issue, rather than making such a crass gesture
I fully recognise the issue, there has been racist language at Yorkshire , Rafiq is reputedly a twat but no matter what he's like no one should racially abuse him or anyone else for any reason. That cant be permitted and i've never said any other just wondered how much of it he brought on himself.

Anyway that's me to kip , have fun

So now you’re saying he brought on the racist abuse himself because you heard me might be a twat.

Probably best you don’t log back on really .
You’ve embarrassed yourself enough.
 
If Vaughan had no social media presence he could have possibly got away with this.

But he’s got a big mouth and uses every opportunity to use it on Twitter. He’s said some outraged things in Twitter and deserves everything that is coming his way.

The sort of stuff he is accused of would be very hard to ride out imo

You’re probably right but he’s been painting a distasteful picture of himself for years on Twitter.

If this Yorkshire thing never happened but you asked 100 people if you thought Vaughan was a racist, I bet the majority would say yes.

f***ing hell man, what is wrong with you?

The: "Those girls were wearing short skirts, they were asking for it" defence. Staggering.

I'm afraid we now have a culture war on our hands.
It was a culture war the second Yorkshire decided to double down on racism rather than confront it, and to promote their culture and values over that of one in which racism is not tolerated. They declared war on the people of colour within their charge at that point.

What's happened now is that there has been push back, making the war bigger, and as wars grow and escalate so does the *potential* for collateral damage.

But it's also entirely possible that Vaughan was a protagonist In the cultural war as well. In which case, why should he escape punishment? It's not like what he supposedly said back then was socially acceptable if its true. In fact if proven it would have been a dismissable offence within employment legislation even then.

There was an interesting discussion on the radio earlier about classism in cricket. Many comments about players being picked due to their backgrounds and education.
That's maybe the case but, growing up, I can remember going to headingley and there being hundreds of pissed up folk on the western terrace singing football songs and even fighting at times....far from an upper class spectator sport.
 
The racism row rumbles on...

The Equality and Human Rights Commission has said it's "deeply concerned" about the allegations of racism that's engulfing Yorkshire County Cricket Club. #AzeemRafiq
