Racism is back in cricket!!! email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 90/100. bhubaneshwar (5474)4 years ago

The cricket season begins in Australia – and so does racism in the sport. Australia has of late been the hot bed of racism in cricket. Last year, the South Africans lodged an official complaint with ICC. The Aussies had allegedly labeled the South Africans as ‘kaffirs’ and ‘kaffir boeties’, which are derogatory terms for black people and those who sympathize with blacks. the Aussie players themselves have been guilty of making racist comments. The Sri Lankans have been at the receiving end of one such slur. The story goes that in a one-day international in 1996, Glenn McGrath called Sanath Jayasuriya a ‘black monkey’.
The Australian cricket authorities can’t just sweep racism matters under the carpet and it’s high time they eliminated racism from the sport. They after all got rid of the famous “Hill” in Sydney because of drunk behavior from the crowd and the onus is on them to act fast, lest teams cancel tours to the country in the future, citing racism.

Your statement is wrong and imlamatory.
Australia to-day is 1000 better than the
Australia I came to in 1955.
It is only the odd occasion that it resurfaces.
The media always make a big banquet
from a morsel.
The trouble is that Australia has a good team.
Others are jealous!!
Jealousy is a curse.
