Racism at Yorkshire CCC

Get with the times and read the f***ing room Yorkshire.

The silence from the members is deafening as well BTW, not that I'd expect anything else from most of them

100% of the YCC members think it is appalling the way that YCC have handled this affair, but what can they do about it, if the club continue to whitewash the whole affair.

Not sure on the process or how much power members really have these days, but can a vote of no confidence in the board be set in motion?

Apologies for sounding like a stuck record, but why isn't it being covered by either the BBC or Sky? What is the point of having all these sports journalists if none of them can do their job, this should be the leading sports story at the moment. No way should this story be just covered by f***ing Cricinfo and Wisden (although both have done great work keeping the story alive).

You’re of course correct in terms of the focus it’s getting

So badly, just ridiculously badly. They're coming across like some prick on a message board, and not a professional organisation. Amazing.

There isn't a worse case of an organisation reacting this badly to a racist complaint in any sector, anywhere in the country.

The ECB has to throw the book at them. And Azeem surely is going to win millions if he gets a day in court with them.

They should be absolutely fucked over. Deserve it.

It should be higher, I agree. It gets on back pages of some of the broadsheets, but I would think today it crosses the threshold from a sports story to a news proper story.

Should be in the BBC Six and Ten packages and if it isn't, questions should be asked.

Apparently we live in 1960.

Absolutely shocking. I could be wrong but this reads like Ballance being the player offering being called a 'Zimbo' as defense for his actions.

Even if isn't that is the most pathetic whataboutery and excuse I've ever heard.

The Digital, Culture, Media and Sport committee have put out the following

"We intend to call the chair of the club before the DCMS committee to give a much fuller explanation than we have had so far.”
and
“MPs are expected to consider what actions should follow.“
