Yorkshire County Cricket Club has been caught up in an unpleasant race row.White chappie Gary Ballance admits racially abusing Azeem Rafiq during the time they played together for the county....using offensive words like "Paki".Not in jest but in anger.Ballance played a few tests for England and couldnt make the grade at test level.What you would probably call a "loser" to be polite.An angry young man.But imagine that.In the modern era a foolish white boy still having hangups about the brown or black colours of peoples skins...whichever is the case.Shame on you Gary.I hope you are punished for your stupidity appropiately.

On TalkSPORT Breakfast this morning, Darren Gough was both-siding the debate by saying he calls the parties often to check in on their mental health and he was worried for Ballance since Ballance had been off for stress earlier this year or last
admittedly this is as a result of 2 of Darrens close friends (one was his best man) taking their own lives in the past year.
White males have the highest suicide rate between 20-40
Cricketers have among the highest suicide rates post career
Say a prayer for Gary
Hey wait
we stopped talking about Azeem already? Spare me the walk and chew gum arguments.
In reply to Halliwell
In all due respects racism has nothing to do with mental illness. It is stupidity and wickedness....bigotry carried forward from generation to generation.Stereotypes from colonial times.
