Does Monkeying a racist comment! Ridiculous!!
by kommunje balamurali on Oct 18, 2007 10:55 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

It was really a ridiculous issue that Andrew Symonds and the rest of the Australian team is been making about. Does monekeying amounts to racism I wonder how this word of english has been tampered to call monkeying a racist comment. Even Mark Waugh has felt it ridiculous to call it a racist comment. Hope the whole media does a great correction in displaying and glorifying the monkeying as a racist comment. Oh GOD, give these fellows a good enough thinking...

I completly agree with you. How can you term apping or gesturing as a sign of racisim... Its absolute rubbish...if we observe this kind of behaviour is very prominent with England and Australian crowd... WHen they boo or make cat calls then it is a part of their way of showing respect to a player they feel threatned and if we do it then its Racisim...high time we stand up against this double standards.
