Andrew Symonds is at fault himself

[Nishant]

Aussie crowds are racist in general? So because about 5 idiots make dumb, drunken, racist remarks Aussie crowds are racist in general? Yeah, good one buddy.

there have been more than one instances where racism have been observed mate! And so what are u trying to say.....are indian crowds racist. The way you and a few others have hyped this thing up...you would think all indians are racist.

 

[sideshowtim]

NO...you're the idiot. Racism is never acceptable..,.but the point that was amde is that there is no point of provoking hatred frm the crowd. Its not abt taking sides...we cant run away frm the fact that symonds was a moron.

Haha, someone making generalisations about the entire cricket-supporting public in Australia based on the actions of a couple, calling someone an idiot...Now I've seen everything.

Face it mate, you thought India would be a gun side after the T20, and now they're not. They're getting owned by Australia, despite the fact you and your band of blind bandwagoners thought that India had actually improved. You're just very, very bitter.

 

[Pratters]

Reckon this thread has become just about irretrievably dire. I honestly can't see any good coming of it.

Ya. You can't really say a person brought racist behaviour upon himself. I don't see this thread going any where or achieving any thing and think it would be best if it is closed.

No! I'm not ******** enough to make a claim that Indian fans are racist in general based on the stupid actions of about ten people in the crowd!

Even if India do level the series, anyone who has watched the series will admit it was essentially Australia's win. You were saved by rain in the first game and it should be 4-1. India are crap mate. And to think some of you were arguing that India's entire game had improved based upon Twenty20s...Hahahahaha.

But yeah, you're definitely being bitter towards Australians. Suggesting Symonds bought on the racial abuse himself? Sorry, there is no other word to describe you...Idiot. I would be appauled if our crowd racially abused Sreesanth, as much as I hate him.

 

[Sanz]

I think everyone will agree that these players need to be little more mature. They should watch what they say to the media. The sledging should stay on the field...if you make comments to the media then crowd is going to take it on you.

Symond started making comments to the media about India's T20 win celebrations even before the series started. If crowd is giving him their response..he should face it and take it in the stride!!!

Sumitsood, Nobody deserves a racial abuse and appalled at the suggestion that it should be taken in the stride.

Symonds had a right to speak his mind, he did nothing wrong.

But I thought the better side always won in ODIs?

 

[JerseyGuy]

Of course he should cop abuse. But not racial abuse. There is a line.

And look how right his T20 comments were. India did go over the top, as proven by their poor showing in this series thus far. Australia have completely owned them.

Agreed, there is no place for racial slur. The person responsible should be dealt with harshly.

However Symond's comment was not beacuse of cricketing reasons but it was jealousy that they did not get such a warm reception when Aussies won the ODI world cup. Indian team truly deserved the reception they got as they beat all the major teams. It was unnecesary for Symond to comment and show his jealousy in open

 

[nightprowler10]

Dire. So a black person can't make any controversial comments without provoking racial abuse. Pathetic attempt to turn an instance of an individual being wronged into the bad guy. By that standard, any racial abuse Sreesanth cops this summer will be his own fault because he makes controversial comments

AWTA, seriously appalled by some of the comments here and at PC.

It appears that symonds was not racially abused. Thats the version from the indian side.

[silentstriker]

If they in fact chanted that, then how did that get misconstrued for monkey chants? Symonds is not stupid. Plus, it would be an elephant, and not a monkey.

Confusing one deity for another?

 

[Jono]

Is Symonds a jackass? Yes.

Does that justify racial abuse? No.

Simple really.

 

[Shaggy Alfresco]

You can't stop it, you can try and control it, but you can't punish everyone

After the Heysel disaster in football (allegedly caused by rioting Liverpool fans), English club teams were banned from European competitions for several years. It gave the impetus for the clubs to sort out the problems we had with hooligans, and we did. No crowd trouble happens at all in English football now. It's Spanish managers who have glass bottles thrown at them, and it's Italian fans who throw flares at opposing players these days.

 

[nightprowler10]

Ya. You can't really say a person brought racist behaviour upon himself.

Agreed, that's like people calling me a terrorist just because I made a pipe bomb.

Is there supposed to be something in there from you?

agreed...but you cant run away frm the fact that the aussie crowds are racist in general. I agree what the indian crowd did was bad...but when the aussies racially abuse the indians come december...i wonder if u would still be making the same comment.

So what has this got to do with a couple of morons yelling out racial slurs What are you suggesting?
