It's just extremely depressing that professional sport still has deep problems with racism. Yorkshire's treatment of Rafiq and their whole behaviour throughout this saga is nothing short of disgraceful. I'm glad that the ECB are hitting them where it hurts.
Hopefully Vaughan gets sacked from all his media gigs, but somehow I can see the worm weaseling his way out of it.....

He'll still get gigs in Australia, that's for sure.

Especially if Channel 7 still have cricket rights.

michael vaughan is basically a facebook karen who just so happened to win the ashes.
dude would rather be getting bombed by the luftwaffe than spend a few more weeks locked up in his cushy house during lockdown. a giant **** of a man.

any time someone posts a meme attaching itself to the soldiers thrust into ww2 i immediately assume they're terrible.

Honestly mate, I've said it before, but it really is a thing, people my age banging on about World War 2 like they were fighting it themselves. I always say you're older than you ****ing look aren't you?
The weird thing is that for us that are old enough to remember people that genuinely saw horrible things in the War, most of them didn't want to talk about it, these weirdos that want to co-opt these people to them, really have no idea. Most voted to join the eU because they couldn't countenance another war like they were traumatised in, but ho-hum, Off topic.
On-Topic Vaughan is racist scum.

This is depressingly extremely true. Especially since it's Channel 7 doing the cricket (though I think his contract with Fox)

Yeah, pretty sure Warne's brought out the Steve Pujara thing as an 'amusing anecdote' in his commentary stints.

One of the last comments my dear Dad made (he was in the RAF and spent 2 years in a Stalag after being shot down) was, "I didn't fight in a war to have my grandchildren's thoughts and words censored."

and they aren't being censored, they are being called out for offensive things they said, and suffering the consequences
or hopefully so, I have my doubts they will really. Yet Azeem Rafiq was a promising Off-spinner who seems to have had his development hindered by a bullying and racist culture, so let's not try to make Ballance or Vaughn the victim here.

Depressing. Throw the book at all of them. Sack any current players involved and somehow start again. The fact they were trying to sweep it under the carpet makes it all worse. Feel so sorry for Rafiq and the others who got abused because they happen to be Asian.
As for the international ban, extend it for a long time. The club don't deserve cricket of that level.

Andrew Gale became captain in 2009 and is now the coach. He racially abused Ashwell Prince in 2014. If he stays in post, YCCC are a joke.
