Yorkshire Ccc
Serious accusations been made today about the club been institutionally racist by former player Azeem Rafiq who claims he was left close to suicide by the racism he faced at the club.
Shouldn't come as a surprise when the head coach was once suspended for racism whilst he was captain.
Yorkshire are yet to comment on the matter

Well Yorkshire have commented but it’s not gone down well with Rafiq. Sounds like the biggest county (geographically in England) are in serious trouble

Re: Yorkshire Ccc
How sad considering the very nature of the sport and the fact international cricket wouldn't even be a thing if it wasn't for the English spreading it abroad.
Can you imagine an English player being treated the same way in the IPL?

Re: Yorkshire Ccc
Report out today from Yorkshire CCC upholding a number of the allegations of racism. There must be some sort of repercussions heading their way, especially in a year where a cricketer has been banned from test matches for historical tweets.

Re: Yorkshire Ccc
This case could blow sports clubs apart.
From the limited points in the press.
He was racially abused 3 times- action needed and said players need naming.
Not providing halal food- most league cricket clubs provided egg butties for asians or veggies. Are they in trouble? Do all workplaces have to provide food for all natnalitities and religions?
He was told he was fat and overweight and it's classed as bullying - every sporting club in the world will have had similar. Very strange judgement. Is Dyche not allowed to tell players they have come back overweight and they need to run it off to get back in the side?

Handled very badly by Yorkshire, a public relations disaster, protecting key employees at the expense of justice. Rafiq has been brave and persistent in presenting his case.

Re: Yorkshire Ccc
I'm just fed up of hearing about these race rows throughout the world. The main way to win elections in the USA now seems to be running race campaigns which people now are seeing through, thank god. The majority of people are not racist at all. The media is trying to drum up problems. Almost creating a divide. Most people I know if not all are sick to death of the BLM take a knee, there not racists at all. BLM is a political group trying to rid American states from police departments. It's absolutely crazy what is happening and people just seem blind/ignorant to it.

Nobody's trying to win an election.
The media is reporting the facts contained in an enquiry.
Yorkshire CCC have caused the problems which will lead to divides by allowing it to happen and then dismissing it as "banter" and taking no action against those involved.
This has nothing to do with BLM, taking the knee or anything in America.
Racism is still happening and some people just seem blind/ignorant to it.
Well done for writing all that without accusing someone of being woke though.

Re: Yorkshire Ccc
An independent report has found that Azeem Rafiq was racially abused and bullied. YCCC have deemed that no action needs to be taken. Sponsors are now withdrawing.
This is what is being reported. Which bit isn't factual?

Re: Yorkshire Ccc
It certainly can't be ignored.
I cant see any option other than the board to resign en masse. If they refuse to go the ECB will have no alternative other than to throw the book at them. It could be very costly.
I find it hard to comprehend how they could come to that conclusion, and not realise the **** storm it was bound to create

Re: Yorkshire Ccc
I think they hoped this would go away, but it's clearly not going to do. They did nothing when Andrew Gale was accused of racism, they did nothing when then employee Darren Lehmann was found guilty of horrendous racism, and now they've done nothing with all of these accusations.
They've had their chance, and fluffed it. Now it's time for the ECB to take the necessary action.

Ballance, a white Zimbabwean and former captain, is completely out of order. Given his own fragile temperament he should know better, an apology is better late than never but why wait so long?

Maybe he didn’t feel the need, why would he make a statement everything he had to say was at the inquest/ tribunal and hopefully to Rafiq as well. reading his statement it doesn’t seem to have been 1 way and they were friends.
