Cricketers tales

[hughnique]

Don't know his name as cricket to me is like watching paint dry, but whatever I see this gent has been revealed as being a bit naughty regarding his views on the Jewish population. False news or is there an element of truth, if yes then surely the pot calling the kettle, [sorry can't use the last word, might offend someone].

No it was true and he has admitted it and apologised. People in glasshouses

In today’s society anybody who speaks out about anything makes themselves vulnerable for intense scrutiny,they really need to be sure there is nothing that can come back onto them

At least he has the balls to fess up, it must be absolutely horrendous having to basically earn a living with all that racist shit being levelled at you, but sport in general, football primarily seems to suffer from the racist / hooligan element. Good job the anti Chinese brigade haven't invaded the crucible, there wouldn't be anyone left to play.

I believe it was a while back not condoning it but he probably thought it had disappeared

Nothing on line disappears

@Pathca even things posted on French forums (not this one) that you believe are private can be found on google. I don't do Facebook/Twitter/TikTok/Instagram or anything else cos I'm risk averse which means I miss a lot but so what.

In doing a search a few years ago I found things i'd written on the first forum way back many years ago.

There’s also things like ‘The Wayback Machine ‘ which makes searching old internet posts very easy

I thought if you paid enough money, some things could be removed? For instance, history of Mrs May's Father being involved with an unscrupulous person and some underage abuse going on.... That seemed to disappear when she was in the spotlight.
