Racism at Yorkshire CCC

Comeback_Kenwyne said:
The allegation on Bumble is that behind the scenes he was trying to smear Rafiq, I think, even as Sky were touting their anti-racist credentials. Similar to what we've seen from some quarters on this thread. Might have leaned into a racist trope that the clubhouses are the heart and soul of country cricket and you can't expect anything from muslim players, because they don't drink. Or something like that. Didn't quite catch it.

was bumble just alluding in a private conversation discussing the whole issue that it’s difficult for asians to intergrate if they dont go into the clubhouse? This doesnt explain away blatant racism or division or make david lloyd a racist. Imo.

The point Rafiq is trying to make is that it's not just Yorkshire or a few individuals within the game but the whole structure of our domestic game is wrong.

I know but the evidence from other clubs seems to be sporadic (1 is not acceptable) so may be individuals who aren't being reported. That needs to be investigated by the ECB asap, I'm just hoping that Yorkshire and some individuals are culpable at other counties rather than the whole game is rotten. But that's blind hope because I love the game.

He was praising Hoggard (as was I)?

I know but he's made it public that Hoggard said things he shouldn't have done. By the sounds of it he's apologised for being part of general 'banter' rather than being a ringleader and it's good that he recognises his mistake. Whereas others who haven't apologised remain anonymous and that just feels a little off. There's no perfect way to handle this.

Harmison on talksport earlier mentioned a Durham player being sacked for racially abusing a player a number of years ago. He also stuck up for Vaughan, getting pelters on Twitter if you type his name in.

Give it a rest man :lol:

Fortunately you're the only one on here who saw a "dodgy comment". Unless you're confusing me with that Scandalous fella.

I too hope he smashes it and it isn't an anticlimax. Not expecting it but would be nice if Adil could be there as well to turn the screw

Remember your hatred comments from last week, stop playing the victim , YOU are a major part of the problem. Don’t even support Sunderland or Durham too , weird you spread anti multiculturalism thoughts on our forum.
 
How the fuck can neither the current, or the last, chairperson of the county know about a report from 2014 that found significant racism in Yorkshire Cricket Club?!?!?!
