RE:delete opinions not in line with your own??????

Actually, when it comes to racism I disagree. It has no place in sport, period. Seems as though racism is acceptable in India but I guess the caste system is as culturally ingrained as it is to rednecks in the American South. As an indigenous person I know full well that racism is alive in Australia but for someone to refer to someone as a monkey on the field of a professional sport, come on, you can't see anything wrong with that? Remember he has admitted to that once already and got off with a warning. When Darren Lehmann was caught out being a racist no one said it was alright, or cultural misunderstanding or denied it happened. He had to face the penalty and rightly so. Seems like Indian supporters are living in denial, just like the crowd issue in Idian recently. Sure, we are suppose to sweep racism under the carpet are we?
