Seems a nice friendly club Yorkshire.
For years you could only play for Yorkshire if you were born there. They changed the rules when they had a chance to sign Sachin Tendulkar.
Either it was all a piss take and a joke between two good friends or it was racial abuse . The fella on the receiving end thinks it was the latter .Originally Posted by Hilts
Its not good language full stop ,you can have banter without reverting to such an obvious abusive racial slur.
The problem here is not just the incident itself, but the club's poor response to the complaint.
Just like Cardiff City
Love ECB response after pressure from politicians.
You clearly arent following the issue with Yorkshire CCC or you wouldn't make such a comment. Nothing like Cardiff City at all.
You need to step back hilts
Cardiff City drag their heels over racism and offensive chanting and have done for years
The reaction from CCFC to the painting of the murals in Butetown ......which was essentially saying they couldn't support it in case it offended our fan base was incredible
I agree the reaction to the mural was shocking. I agree.
Yorkshire CCC are being accused to being institutionally racist.
You need to step back for once. You cant compare the 2.
Not just the mural . Cardiff City have played lip service to racism and offensive chanting for years hilts .
BBC News - Azeem Rafiq racism case: Roger Hutton resigns as Yorkshire chairman

Still not comparable to this situation. If you had CCFC players using racial slurs against another player and the club brushed that aside then maybe you’d have a point.
So à chairman who wasn't even in charge when the incidents happen has become the fall guy??
Shall expect others to go as well in that case but won't be surprised if they don't have the corsage
I dont think its as simple as just the incidents highlighted.
Hope the cunt’s career is over. **** those who are racist and say “it’s banter”, “you’re too sensitive” etc.
there are two parts to this. Firstly, the club's response was severely lacking and they're now on the back foot. The ECB are quite correct in suspending all tests at Headingley until the club sorts itself out. Whether there was or wasn't racism is not the point, the club have a duty of care to investigate thoroughly and now the board are looking to blame the ECB for lack of response, when the ECB is the sport regulator, is passing the buck.
Then we have the incident(s) themselves. People of similar backgrounds may opt to refer to each other using terms others might find offensive if used elsewhere (certain Afro-Americans referring to each other as monica as an example), but I can't see that two supposed friends from different backgrounds would think such language was acceptable. It just does not wash and I don't believe Garry Ballance when he claims it was done in good humour. What sort of individual are you if you think referring to your supposed friend with such language is acceptable behaviour? Similarly Mike Vaughan denies the allegations but a witness has come forward and said they witnessed it.
There needs to be a full investigation and if the players are found guilty then ban them for life. Zero tolerance is needed to send the right message.
Thankfully questions will be answered in Parliament so the contents of the heavily redacted report can be made public.
There is no comparison between what Yorkshire have allowed to fester and Cardiff , in fact I believe we area very inclusive society and club and the odd problems are very much in the minority in our FAIR City and only carried out by mindless poorly educated people .
