Agree with most of what is being said. But, perhaps ironically, cricket has always seemed to me to be more of a working-class sport in Yorkshire than any other part of the country. Many of the Yorkshire greats have been from humble backgrounds.

Yes and the coaches and director of cricket have been asked to resign according to reports.

Moxon and Vaughan did not comply with the inquiry and that to me is far worse than one player using an offensive term and then apologising. I hope the player keeps his job.

This is a massive stink but to be honest a lot of good can come of it, There’s a chance to clean up and rebuild the club with a different outlook.

As far as the amateur game goes, I’ve played myself as a minority in a team for the last 20 years so I don’t see what others do in terms of my own experience.

I do know different races, colours and religions can play together as one team and respect their own differences.

Cricket can and should bring people together from all different walks of life.

Moxon is off work with a stress-related illness.

The stress of being asked to resign... very understandable.

Apparently Moxon received some threats

Here’s the background to the Andrew Gale suspension

And Jo Stevens MP has kicked off as the terms of reference of the enquiry were changed by YCCC part way through the process in order to “prevent the investigations team from drawing any conclusions about institutional racism”. Hence the conclusions upheld 7 of Rafiqs claims but didn’t pass judgment as to the institutional racism question.

I think there is a possibility the government either get involved with more academy players speaking out or
They put serious pressure on the ECB to make significant change.

The way this is going Government intervention looks like it’s coming.

That is horrific... hope they get named and shamed. Heavy punishments... I won't be losing sleep over their loss of earnings and pressure... I'll refrain from using foul language...

He’s had toasted himself as a second player backed up the remarks he made to the four Asian players.

One of this players was Rashid…he is the most prominent Pakistani players-if he breaks his silence things could get worse.
If that’s even possible.

Disappointed to read that Vaughan will still be commentating with BT Sports for the Ashes series. Think I will forgo buying a viewing package for the upcoming series!!!

That is true. Stay focused on cricket and treat each other with respect, that is all you need.

Gale suspended.

Gale had been suspended for a tweet he sent, then deleted, in 2010. Unrelated to this case, but still racist language.

What I don’t understand is why it takes so long for this to come out if it’s been on Twitter. Why wasn’t this highlighted when he got the job in 2016?

Those that have tweeted and it’s still there, how have they not deleted it yet or had action accordingly?  Like the bowler who got called up for England then his tweets were highlighted. How on earth hasn’t someone highlighted these sooner?
