Oh, grow up FFS!

“Racist” my ass..
‘THE ground announcer at Saturday’s England tour game in Alice Springs was stood down after making alleged racist remarks towards Monty Panesar over the PA system.
David Nixon, an ABC producer, was sacked from the ground announcing role on the spot when Cricket Australia heard his introduction of the left-arm spinner to the 2000-strong crowd in an Indian accent…’

    After reading the featured article it seems to me that David Nixon had been having a few sly grogs on the day…either that or he’s a natural born a-hole and not a professional cricket commentator.

    Whatever, Flashman, but it seems to me that you guys down there are letting the PC (wacist! wacist!wacist!) scum scupper your fine sense of Antipodean humour. Hang on to it – if I can put up with five years of kindly being referred to as a ‘pommie bastard’ there is no reason why a cricketer should worry about an Indaian accent because a piss take is a piss take and that’s all it is. (P.S. Wabbit, my Queensland accent would make your eyes water if you ever found time to stop crying for your Rugby team :mrgreen: )http://falfn.com/CrusaderRabbit/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_cool.gif

      Strewth, cobber, my accent’s nothing to write home about either!
      And fair suck of the sav–plenty of Indians take the piss out of upper-class pommy accents. (That’s when they’re not trying to emulate them).
      The PC wombles need to get a sensayuma.

    Wankers.

    And i’ll bet no one bothered asking any Indians if they were offended. Now that’s real racism to me, just assuming that non-whites can’t take a joke because well… we’re too stupid to think for ourselves?

    On a related note, i do hope these sour uptight PC types do, at some point in their day, lie down somewhere and let that long stick slide out, i don’t know myself, but it has to be quite painful to walk around all the time with that long unbending stick up their backside.

    And I’m willing to bet they weren’t. The Indians I’ve known almost all had a fine sense of humour.
