Why Is It The Cricket Section Overwhelmed With Racism?

26 February 2010 9 Comments

Im relatively new to yahoo answers and visit cricket, rugby, league, ice hockey sections (plus other non sporting sections)
The cricket section is overwhelmed with racist taunts. I don’t like to point fingers but the one factor unique to cricket is the Indian supporters. I’m not blaming them alone as its quite obvious they are baited constantly by others.
Is it not possible for a truce to begin, or have I missed such requests go unheard in the past.

    Well I have been here for a couple of years in 4 different accounts, the first 3 of which were suspended due to spiteful reporting from a certain country. It was quite good here till Australia won the Sydney test, then all hell broke loose from Indian fans. As a result I have been racially abused, lied about & insulted on a regular basis, along with another female member who left because of it.I think one should accept defeat gracefully and get on with life, but not all cultures think that way. It is pointless to expect peace here especially now that India has suffered another humiliating defeat at the hands of England. However if we just stick to answering & asking cricket Qs it should be bearable.You will find that the rugby league section is much more friendly, people there are not so thin skinned.

    Indians are uncivilized, uncultured, racists. These @ssholes illegal immigrants live in England and they dare to boo the England team in England. How can these beggars call themselves cricket fans? All they do is worship the “Great Cow” all day and sh1t on the streets. They should be caged up & shipped back to their dirthole curryland, India.
    edit-@daisy, yeah right, you people are just as normal as us but you prefer to worship cows. what a joke! Why were Indians burning the Australian flag in Sydney then? I wouldn’t stoop so low even if you paid me.
