How long before we have a similar report here
Yorkshire Cricket Club have made some arseholes of themselves. Gary Ballance literally went for the āit was just banterā excuse.
Michael Vaughan is trouble now. Having a cursory knowledge of his politics from what Iāve seen him tweet over the years Iām not overly surprised.
Vaughan plays cricket so I assume heās a tool

Such a shame to see these English racists bringing the great Irish game of Cad into disrepute.

Let he who is without sin among you cast the first stone.
That didnāt take long.
A translation of the meaning of that line when it is used by those who seek to uphold injustice would read: one who is not perfect in every facet of their existence thus has no right to ever object to an injustice done to them or to a people they belong to.
That would be preposterous. But it is what the entire kulturkampf right wing demands - in the full knowledge that almost nobody can meet that standard - as it seeks to uphold institutional racism.
The usual suspects on the kulturkampf right wing have, as was utterly inevitable, jumped all over this.
They have done so with only one aim: not to object to racism, but to defend racism and institutional racism both in English cricket but more importantly English society, and elsewhere.
These usual suspects were wholly supportive of Ollie Robinson when similar racist stuff from his youthful past was exposed.
What was the difference there, I wonder? Why was there such forgiveness from those usual suspects towards the white, Christian Robinson and not towards the brown, Muslim Rafiq?
That difference in reaction conclusively proves Rafiqās points.
The fact that Rafiq is not perfect, and far from it, does not in any way undermine his testimony about Yorkshire Cricket Club.
Barney Ronay got it spot on here.
This guy says that being British is driving a German car, drinking in an Irish themed pub drinking Belgian beer before grabbing an Indian takeaway to eat on a Swedish sofa looking at a Japanese telly showing American shite and then giving out about Johnny Foreigner.
