Might just be jumping on the bandwagon, but if it puts more pressure on YCCC then good Azeem Rafiq: Yorkshire board should resign over report into racism allegations, says DCMS chair - bbc.co.uk
swittle Nov 2021 10:11am, 3 Nov 2021 80,897 posts	Quote Pin swittle ^ Re Yorkshire CCC: plenty of BBC 'Today' prog coverage earlier today, including an interview with Monty Panesar. The word, 'untenable' keeps recurring as I read more about this affair.
Oscar the Grouch Nov 2021 10:32am, 3 Nov 2021 3,763 posts	Quote Pin Oscar the Grouch The bit that really grates is this idea of the words used being dismissed as 'banter' and all the keyboard warriors saying, 'well, if it was that bad, why did he go back for a second spell'.

Bazoaxe Nov 2021 10:42am, 3 Nov 2021 21,165 posts	Quote Pin Bazoaxe Oscar, thats the point exactly. I have no doubt that the people involved believed it was banter. The investigation has listened to that and accepted it without taking a step back and thinking if the banter was appropriate. Quite clearly it is not.
