Historic offensive tweets England cricket player

A second England cricketer is being investigated for historic offensive tweets although his name isn't being released as he was under 16 at the time

Bowen was under 16 wasn't he?

In my day they would have been called tell tale tits.

Fancy having a job whose mission is to destroy people’s careers.

Interesting article about companies that go through social media accounts looking for "scandal"

The most offensive thing about this is the amount of press coverage it got in comparison to the story of the continued rape over 7 years of a 13 year girl until she was 20 by at least 29 men.

Re: Historic offensive tweets England cricket player

If anyone told me 10 years ago that this sort of thing would be happening i would have laughed in thier face at the stupidity of such a thought.

Yet, as with Bowen, here we are in 2021...........

Give it another 10 years and fucks knows where we will be, people getting jailed for what they wrote or said when kids.

Well they've done it. Ollie Robinson to take "a break" from cricket. Career trashed by woke lefties.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/57432180

England bowler Ollie Robinson will miss Sussex's first two T20 Blast games as he takes a "short break" from cricket.

The 27-year-old was suspended from international cricket on Sunday after historical racist and sexist tweets he posted in 2012 and 2013 were shared online.

He will miss Sussex's matches against Gloucestershire and Hampshire on Friday and Saturday respectively.

There is currently no indication when he will play again.

Robinson suspended by ECB
Robinson apologises for racist and sexist tweets
"After a difficult week, Ollie has decided to take a short break from the game to spend time with his young family," read a Sussex statement.

"We remain in close contact with Ollie from a welfare perspective and will issue further updates on his availability at the relevant times."

Tweets posted when Robinson was aged 18 and 19 came to light on the first day of England's drawn first Test against New Zealand at Lord's while he was on the field making his international debut.

He later apologised, saying he was "ashamed" and "embarrassed".

After the Test, he was suspended pending an investigation by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and ruled out of the second Test, which began on Thursday.

Sussex said: "Ollie's tweets were completely unacceptable, and their content is totally at odds with our stated ambition to inspire people from every background in our county to say, 'I feel part of Sussex Cricket'.

"Ollie is a very different man from the one that wrote those tweets and has clearly learned much in the intervening years.

"As a result of his actions, Ollie has had the opportunity to represent his country suspended, is at the centre of intense public and media scrutiny and faces the possibility of further disciplinary action from the ECB.

"Sussex Cricket will not be adding to these significant penalties.

"The club will turn its attention to supporting Ollie in his commitment to continue to educate himself in the area of equality, diversity and inclusion."

Robinson is free to play for Sussex at any stage during his England suspension.

They are also due to play T20 Blast games next Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.

"When he is ready to return, Ollie will be welcomed back to the club, where discussions with the remainder of the squad over the last week have made clear that he retains the support of all his Sussex team-mates," said Sussex.

"Ollie has more to learn in this area. We all do. We all have a responsibility to improve and to make cricket a game for everybody."

Re: Historic offensive tweets England cricket player

Just out of interest, Swiss, when you're being highly racist towards Indians, are you excluding the hundreds of millions of muslims that live there?

"I see to remember you have openly said you hate all Muslims or words to that effect."

Really? Good luck finding that.

I didn't say anything racist about Indian folk. I just said that they could bring diseases like Covid variants and TB to the UK and that's why India is on the red list.

I also stated it was likely they would back fill roles vacated by Eastern European EU citizens. These are facts if you are ready for them.

I see to remember you have openly said you hate all Muslims or words to that effect.

Is it worse than what you say about the Indian folk, Swiss, just to give those who don't use TWITTER a comparison?

I know I just checked now to find exactly what he texted. I think people were playing it down saying is was "mildly offensive" lol.

Re: Historic offensive tweets England cricket player

Swiss I just saw that. It had been blacked out on all the media coverage so I didn't know the word he'd used.

I have sympathy for him for some of the other tweets but that was just fucking stupid even for an 18 year old

Robinson used the "n-word" on a public forum. Twat.

I hope you will all support me in my campaign to tear up all the roads, sewage systems and the like in the UK which are a symbol of Roman imperialism and oppression and reprehensible behaviour ( including enslavement ) of Celts and the indigenous population.

So any idea whether there are 11 "respectable" Englishmen left available for the 2nd Test?

Sounds about right. That’s what appens with bullies.
