INTO THE RUFF-INDIA JIETAGAH


This Sunday evening I have the following plans. After I leave my stall in Rosebank I will go with the owes to Fordsburg, probably Mike's Kitchen. Because all the India Owes will be at the Wanderers, chanting "India Jeetegah, & Sachin Sachin. No doubt it will make for great atomosphere. Nothing like mad Indians shouting for India, Plus their team has come to them. I think it will make for a great contest. Both teams have been stuttering of late and they have the calibre of players lets be honest to pull of a victory. South Africa better hope that bA#3ard Mahendra Singh Doni doesnt get going as he has the ability to hit them, or even Tendulkar playing a majestic inninings. I should say South Africa will emerge as Winners as We have always been their Dada's. So whoever is going Enjoy the Bullring.

Whilst we on the topic I need all my blog followers input here. Its about a topic making the News Again. Racism in Cricket. This arises from Monty Panesar's abuse in Austrailia. Poor Old Monty apparantly needed councelling. Some oke told him "GORH MONTY GORGH , YOU STUPID INDIAN. Kevin Peterson also was abused at the same time. I know South Africa had the same experience last year with the likes of Ntini and a few others. Hash was called a terrorist in the commentary booth of all places.
I believe racism in Sport exist everywhere and even soccer has had its fair share. In Rome a black Roma Player was having Coffee at a bar where he was assaulted by Rival Lazio Fans. Even the Lazio Fans have banners in the crowd depicting racist and facsist slogans. Poor Samuel Eto nearly walked off the pitch a dozen times.

I know Racism in Sport needs to be eradicated but Do you guys honestly think Steps can be taken to overcome this problem.
Also What are your views on what happened to Monty,Hash and the Rest?

  1. Racism will almost never be eradicated in sport. It needs to be eradicated in society first, and it will follow in sport.

    Racism has to stop, but will there still be passion ?

    We are all created differently so that we can recognise one another.

    e.g. If people hate Man United and their supporters and say anything (check previous posts) to put them down does that make them racists? Or what if those opposition fans start slagging say Louis Saha, Evra ("non-white players") is that the same thing?

    I watched a game in which Eto wanted to walk off the field after the opposition fans were making racist comments, yet in the opposition team there were also black players. The abusive comments were reserved for the "black" players in Barca's team but "black" players in their own team were not treated to the same abuse.

    There are quite a few supporters which take slagging of the opposition team to extreme levels. All of us do it, there are still "toppies" around that will never support South African cricket and always have harsh things to say about our team.

    What about when the "Indians" were slagging Alan Donald and he retaliated does that make the "Indians" racists.

    The abusive comments based on the colour of your skin should stop !!

  2. Racism in sport in this country still exists... Lots of the Old School Whites can't handle the fact that people of colour are joining them on the sports field... in the past sport was a white mans game... but at the same time you often find our indian fighting with each other... guys from lenz fight with the roshnee boys... or the mayfair boys with azaadville... is that racism... we all need to be more tolerant of each other...in some cases its the way people have been brought up... they have had a mindset of racism from childhood... not easy to change... Fifa look to be coming down hard on it... can other international sporting bodies follow...
