It might be BS to you but thankfully you’re a minority…

Is that shit still going on?

Bizarre

Re: The Cricket Thread
 

Long article. Worth reading to the end otherwise the first segment will just lead to crying foul of racism. Being told what to do vs Not towing the company line. What's important in these delicate situations is what goes on behind closed doors, and those things are not seen by the cameras. The one knee thing is a movement after all and sports persons have a choice if they sing the national anthem or not. Surely they can have a choice about whether they display physical actions of a given movement.

Big fan of your man Quinton de Kock making a stand against associating himself with BLM as an organisation here.

Being asked to mandate doing the virtue signally knee thing on the bus ride to the game is beyond the scope of South African Cricket.

I hope he sues for travel expenses and wins.

Rightyho.

Re: The Cricket Thread
 

It is telling that Quinton’s teammates have come out in his defence to his decision and cited his actions in real life that have backed up his attitude and actions towards “diversity and inclusion”.

As opposed to virtue signalling.

F this current culture, can I get an End Date? 🤡

Re: The Cricket Thread
 

All movements come to an end. I thought this current one had. Why bring up politics in sport. It has no place. Get on with cricket regardless of colour, race, or whatever.

QdK is a hero for standing up to CSA's virtue-signalling mandate. He has a constitutional right to not take the knee if that's how he feels - something that CSA cannot override. If it was ever challenged in an SA court, CSA would get smashed

Reading on the SA news sites and many of his fellow cricketers and insiders of the game - black and white - have come out in his defence

Given the messed up, virtue-signalling, identity driven world we live in in 2021, QdK may have just effectively ended his cricketing career - and given that he's only 28, that would be a heavy price to pay. There's also rumours that he's pissed off with CSA for taking the captaincy off of him earlier this - for no other reason than the colour of his skin

Then you have dickheads like the ABC sports reporter, Tony Armstrong, almost in tears on breakfast TV, calling QdK a racist. WTF!

The West is eating itself from within

Yeah, who cares about ‘brown shit’

Give him an Aussie passport and a BBL contract. He can make the big bucks on the 20/20 world tour.

Re: The Cricket Thread
 

?

I'm confused by your post - QdK is mixed race, so I don't know where your 'brown shit' comes from

A bizarre post - but kind of understandable also

The Guardian is great for sport - but when it comes to things like economics, society, history, they are f**king hopeless, hate-filled and incredibly biased and best avoided

Re: The Cricket Thread
 

He should - and already does

Thinking about it, by CSA forcing players to take the knee, the cause of the hate-filled, ant-western, antii-democratic organisation known as BLM has been set back by a huge degree - any kind of moral highground that they have has just been brought down to ground-level. Mandating people to take a stand reduces any kind of legitimacy an organisation has. BLM needs to be pushed back against and this helps that

Re: The Cricket Thread
 

QdK has announced that he will take the knee from now on

His choice

Re: The Cricket Thread
 

And a massive apology to his teammates

Re: The Cricket Thread
 

The brown shit was in the thread. I guess you didn’t bother to read it.

Re: The Cricket Thread
 

I started but it was the usual Guardian hate speech so I gave up
