I certainly didn't say stuff like that, although i was brought up in quite different surroundings to most people i know. Racism and bigotry were never on the menu.Originally Posted by Elwood Blues
As for the quote, i do agree, but only to a point, i do feel a sense of resignation in the quoted words. There are also enough 'if's' in the quote to make me think that the person who said those words would like some evidence to suggest this person has changed.
For the record, i don't want this cricketer to suffer forever, that would be a complete waste, nobody benefits in my opinion. What i would like to see is a real concerted effort by him to prove that he isn't that person anymore, that he has learned from his mistake. 'Sorry' isn't enough in my opinion, especially when a person has been so overt when expressing themselves. If he had anything about him then he would get involved in some kind of education programme, act physically, and own what he has said. That would do more than any pre prepared apology in my opinion.
