‘Ashamed’ Azeem Rafiq apologises after anti-Semitic messages emerge, I and probably others had sympathy for Azeem, but it turns out he sent racist messages , this changes the game , he hasnt a leg to stand on , this makes him a HYPOCRITE and apologised after he got found out, he has lost all CREDIBILITY
This has existed in cricket for years. When i was playing at Notts as a under 15/14 in 2001 it was all the white kids getting through when all the asian kids dominated in the schools. Just because the technique was different and we batted and bowled with flare it was seen as not technical enough, look at cricket now and the development of the game ……It isn’t just about sport… this exists in business, in life, in the supermarket. We should call it out and stand firm. Not allow it to happen in our faces and accept it as white ignorance. And if your white you should educate your children and your parents especially in regards to unconscious bias.
Well he wasn't white and he did very well as a young promising cricketer.he got a lot of support early on . What I'd like to know is where are the Asian footballer's??
@@deematty46 They have no Interest in football and I have been saying this for years. India and Pakistan have a national team? Cricket and maybe badminton are their preferred sports.
My friend I am white, from the age of 8-12 my batting and bowling averages were obscene. 6 overs 6 maidens 6-8 wickets was an standard day for me. Left arm medium over or round , unplayable. Bowled out teams for 20 runs in some instances or 50 maximum. Open batting as well and hit these in a handful of overs. School captain, district captain, club captain. 10 years old trials at Middlesex, bowled the guy out 10 times and knocked the ball all round the nets. But over looked. It's not just colour it is also a clicky.
Waiting for talk sport to cover Azeems comments about Jews the way they did when he first broke the story, and of course people on here to condemn him.
What about all the other British pakistani lads that suffered because of this racism? Shall I see if I can get in touch with them to see if they've been anti semitic? I tell you what let's do this. If anyone ever makes a complaint about racism let's check to see if they've said anything racist before dealing with their complaints?
Wow! Pot and Kettle! It’s ok for Rafiq to send Anti-semitic tweets/messages! Maybe Jewish people are exempt from feeling any racism! He may have to look up ‘hypocrite’ in a dictionary! So he apologised , ah well, it’s alright then!
He made an immature and yes, racist remark as teen which he has accepted. Not like ongoing racism in the workplace from men in their 20s and 30s which was denied.
Darren Gough great fast bowler and a true gentleman….Gave Azeem support when he needed it most,just shows what a great man he really is and a true friend.
But now Rafiq has been found to be a racist and dirty texts to a young female so if the people that he has accused are not given a second chance why should Rafiq , he should never of gone through what he did if all is true but that doesn't make it right for him to say what he said about jews is just as disgusting
Don't forget in 2010 Rafiq attacked his coach John Abrahams online when he was dropped for disciplinary reasons, but he quickly deleted the posts when he realised they were publicly viewable, so he isn't a clean skin and if want to know abuse try working in public service of a weekend, yet no sympathy or large pay outs for that.

When I was 5 yrs old ..me and my father experienced racial abuse by a number of idiots on a bus. This left me feeling anxious and hasn't really changed.
Is this just another ex famous wealthy privallaged athlete *making excuses* and using _racisim_ for their own failures? These cricketers/ footballers get paid ££££ and then they complain after their careers are finished. What rubbish. Boycott these mamby pamby athletes. Thank you
Sounds like he actually hit rock bottom when he was trying to get off with a kid on a plane with offers of alcohol for her.....Alcohol, that thing he's so against, like racism , so against it........
Goughie, The sad situation is all of this people who have apologised etc etc haven't shed their racist attitudes. What's an apology just words unless you change from within.
Exactly!! The apologies are about damage limitation and protecting their reputations. Until they realise how damaging their racism is there will be no change. Also, those who stood by and witnessed the racist abuse are just as bad as the perpetrators.
@@MsSlimbee thanks. Unfortunately it doesn’t look like anyone has realised this a window in to this world where racism lives in many forms many places. So all you can say is God forgive them for they do not know what they do or the harm caused. And we call ourselves humans!
Yorkshire cricket club has been racist ever since I can remember during th 1970s. It waS the only county cricket club without even one coloured player,suggesting that they didn't even take coloured people born in Yorkshire!!
Azeem seems like a nice guy. Though sad reality might be that a few people in general are just NOT really very nice on a social scale? Probably a mix of disproportionate fame for some younger people that make them feel elite, make them feel better than anyone else? ....I remember going on long haul rugby matches with my school. The Ginger kid and the nerd players got verbally and sometimes physically bullied for the whole coach journey. This ISN'T about racism its about elitism! ...The only reason that the bullies have always got off Scott Free is because the issue HAS NEVER BEEN addressed by society! Maybe a government that would support a Stricter Regime in schools, a Court that might give the appropriate punishment for the type of crime and yes maybe the few lazy parents that think their little Joey was an absolute saint, should take some flak here? As an example the appalling murder of Steven Lawrence was not how it has been shown to be. The thugs that were drunk and on their way home that night would have potentially attacked and killed anyone at that bus stop at that time! This was erroneously turned into a racist murder when these thugs would have happily killed a Gay, a Lesbian, a nerd? Any excuse to commit violence within a society that is NOT holding THUGS and CRIMINALS to account for their deeds.
Mine was the last comment made I want Yorkshire just to move forward with this do not understand why everything comes out of the woodwork after 12 years, surely Vaughan did not make those horrible comments as he is such a gentleman of the game, if I am honest we can all say things in the heat of the moment which we later regret, I guess we should not be thinking like that in the first place.
To get to the point of filing a complaint for bullying must have took courage and been ongoing for a while, Yorkshire cc board should be ashamed they made light of it and tried to brush it under the carpet. More names will come out and more denials over the coming weeks.
12 years if it’s to be believed.. why wait? Why did the others who ‘heard it’ not complain or report it? Surely 4 people reporting an incident would be enough for action to be taken.
@@jimgavin1726 Fear. Fear no one would listen, fear of losing his contract, fear what it might do to the rest of his career. He didn’t have the strength to be put in the spotlight he just wanted to play cricket. Are you doubting his claims?
Oh so now it's OK to say something about a white person's race... it's banter.... but when said against another race.... it's deemed as racism.... can't have it both ways... thought that there was no such thing as casual racism.... I'm all for equal rights and all races are the same... but you can't go around claiming that you are the victim.... when you have been racist to others yourself but think that just because you apologise for it that you should be treated differently.... surely you can't pick and choose that what you have said is less of an offence...
There’s a big difference between one being called ginger and another being called a pxxi It’s unlawful , unethical , uncivilised and unprofessional to use racist slurs and I suppose any grown up adult can tell the difference ?
total respect for Gough loved him as a cricketer and coming from asain background i can say he was someone i looked up to in the England team and as a fast bowler myself he was role model. But unfortunately after a taking 8 wickets for 34 runs in 5 overs for my local team in a final where there were various scouts from different counties watching the tournament and not getting picked by any of them for trials when i was player of the tournament and man of match in the final and then finding out the 4 players that were selected had performed so bad through out the tournament but had family members playing for these counties so got selected my family told me i had gone far enough and that they couldn't afford to send me to these tournaments anymore when it was so obvious no matter how well i or other asains performed we wouldn't get a chance i dont know if it was racism and i dont want to make such a claim but i always thought if i was white and performed that well would i have got a chance but i gave up and still hurts to this day. i have to mention Arnie sidebottom absolute fantastic bloke he helped me so much and wanted me to continue but deep down he even knew i had no chance of getting any where even though his words i was faster bowler than mullay his son ryan and caddick at just the age of 18 but i hope all this media attention on racism gives other ethnic minorities a platform to have careers in cricket now and produce more players like moeen, rashid, jordan, mills, archer etc.

Darren Gough to be new Chairman at yorkshire - This story highlights that UK has long way to go kick out racism . Sport has highlighted whether its football or cricket now that race still a factor when players are discussed . To call a team mate a yorkshire a P*** or there too many you lot is total insult . With Government push inequality and diversity in every work place I think time people held accountable . Wheather is Chairman / Manager or Captains . Most of best Cricket team around world are going shocked at Yorkshire cricket club eg Pakistan , India , west indies and sri lankan - they should boyout playing at Yorkshire and not surprised sponsor like Nike have cancelled deals with club . They need come out change board get Darren Gough as Chairman
We coloured people call on ECB to ban Yorkshire Cricket Club from playing all form of Cricket for the next 5 season, if that happens we can say justice is delivered .
Is that justice you're looking for? Or revenge? And how many people do you actually speak for, or have you just put yourself forward as a people's champion? There definitely should be consequences to such terrible actions, but to make the innocent suffer as well as the guilty won't heal any wounds.
Al just asking what are your thoughts on Durham University only allowing black netball to be played on black pride day. No whites allowed. That's also racist to us. Don't here that being mentioned in the media. Only GB news have reported this and police are investigating this due to complaints from the public.
Yeah gb news spoke to a University student and they mentioned Durham but it could be Surrey but there has been complaints of racism from black people to white people. As the young student said they put it on Instagram and she was shocked by it and police are investigating it now is the latest. It's same with leery henry ladt year saying he dosent want to work for a white man again. Even though it's white people who have contributed to red nose day. Jim Davidson shown his remark on his RUclips channel and again bbc did not act out. So black people can also be racist just they get no punishment. Not publicised enough or isn't.

This bullshits ageing well isn’t victim of “racism” to anti-Jew tweets!!! It’s fucking delicious sometimes the taste of irony is.
A racist making racist accusations yer.
Is this just another ex famous wealthy privallaged athlete *making excuses* and using _racisim_ for their own failures? These cricketers/ footballers get paid ££££ and then they complain after their careers are finished. What rubbish. Boycott these mamby pamby athletes. Thank you
Why are comments turned off on other videos regarding this topic?
Interesting
Sounds like he actually hit rock bottom when he was trying to get off with a kid on a plane with offers of alcohol for her.....Alcohol, that thing he's so against, like racism , so against it........
Goughie, The sad situation is all of this people who have apologised etc etc haven't shed their racist attitudes. What's an apology just words unless you change from within.
Exactly!! The apologies are about damage limitation and protecting their reputations. Until they realise how damaging their racism is there will be no change. Also, those who stood by and witnessed the racist abuse are just as bad as the perpetrators.
@@MsSlimbee thanks. Unfortunately it doesn’t look like anyone has realised this a window in to this world where racism lives in many forms many places. So all you can say is God forgive them for they do not know what they do or the harm caused. And we call ourselves humans!
who's thinking "what's the issue here?"... that is the issue.
Yorkshire cricket club has been racist ever since I can remember during th 1970s.
It waS the only county cricket club without even one coloured player,suggesting that they didn't even take coloured people born in Yorkshire!!
goughy been appointed md this this interview. said all the right things to talk himself into the job
Azeem seems like a nice guy. Though sad reality might be that a few people in general are just NOT really very nice on a social scale? Probably a mix of disproportionate fame for some younger people that make them feel elite, make them feel better than anyone else? ....I remember going on long haul rugby matches with my school. The Ginger kid and the nerd players got verbally and sometimes physically bullied for the whole coach journey. This ISN'T about racism its about elitism! ...The only reason that the bullies have always got off Scott Free is because the issue HAS NEVER BEEN addressed by society! Maybe a government that would support a Stricter Regime in schools, a Court that might give the appropriate punishment for the type of crime and yes maybe the few lazy parents that think their little Joey was an absolute saint, should take some flak here? As an example the appalling murder of Steven Lawrence was not how it has been shown to be. The thugs that were drunk and on their way home that night would have potentially attacked and killed anyone at that bus stop at that time! This was erroneously turned into a racist murder when these thugs would have happily killed a Gay, a Lesbian, a nerd? Any excuse to commit violence within a society that is NOT holding THUGS and CRIMINALS to account for their deeds.
Ask him about the grooming gangs Darren I bet he doesn't cry then.
Mine was the last comment made I want Yorkshire just to move forward with this do not understand why everything comes out of the woodwork after 12 years, surely Vaughan did not make those horrible comments as he is such a gentleman of the game, if I am honest we can all say things in the heat of the moment which we later regret, I guess we should not be thinking like that in the first place.
Yes because Ahmadis are treated very well in Pakistan.
@@indysingh4552 please seek urgent medical attention
To get to the point of filing a complaint for bullying must have took courage and been ongoing for a while, Yorkshire cc board should be ashamed they made light of it and tried to brush it under the carpet. More names will come out and more denials over the coming weeks.
12 years if it’s to be believed.. why wait? Why did the others who ‘heard it’ not complain or report it? Surely 4 people reporting an incident would be enough for action to be taken.
@@jimgavin1726 Fear. Fear no one would listen, fear of losing his contract, fear what it might do to the rest of his career. He didn’t have the strength to be put in the spotlight he just wanted to play cricket. Are you doubting his claims?
And now?
Oh so now it's OK to say something about a white person's race... it's banter.... but when said against another race.... it's deemed as racism.... can't have it both ways... thought that there was no such thing as casual racism.... I'm all for equal rights and all races are the same... but you can't go around claiming that you are the victim.... when you have been racist to others yourself but think that just because you apologise for it that you should be treated differently.... surely you can't pick and choose that what you have said is less of an offence...
All changed now he a racist as well cancel him 2 or does he get a pass
Goughy - your a F*****G Legend bro
Brazil can't help himself - motormouthing all the time - Shut up and Let Gough speak FFS.
It’s ok for him to be racism
If he was abused as claimed then why did he go back for another spell,something doesn't add up.
Urinating on someone is a criminal offence not bullying.
Something doesnt make sense here tbh
Respect to gough
Top bloke 👏
Yeah he’s hit rock bottom now 🤣🤣
Do we not care hes racist himself
Hes just had a 6 figure payout. Cheer up lads.
😕 people likr u are part of the problem, everythings always a joke
@@Bproductionz8 this aged well.
Thanks for your support Gough
Especially as relatives have Asian partners.
Darren you are good man. 👍 alot respect for you sir.
Now will people listen because Gough is speaking on this.
Make Goughie head of ECB !
Does Mr Bairstow get an enquiry for the names he's been called for being ginger? Don't think so.
There’s a big difference between one being called ginger and another being called a pxxi
It’s unlawful , unethical , uncivilised and unprofessional to use racist slurs and
I suppose any grown up adult can tell the difference ?
@@3dulimited952 what about a ginger **** or a fat **** or an ugly ****? Any enquiries for those?
@Sean no difference
@Sean or anti-Semitic slurs to the Jewish community! A rafiq!

It’s hilarious how you came here to gloat. Well done for serving to highlight the actual problem that exists 👍
@@rrtind gloating over hypocrisy is legitimate. What about the problem of anti-semitism in islam? Are we allowed to discuss that? Or is that OK?
@@tonywilliams7152 It’s totally ok to discuss. Go for it. Unless you’ve already opened the discussion?
Racism is called banter in UK 🇬🇧.
Darren is Azeem good enough to play for England? The man thinks his career was ruined because of the club he choose to play!
Darren your a gentleman
total respect for Gough loved him as a cricketer and coming from asain background i can say he was someone i looked up to in the England team and as a fast bowler myself he was role model. But unfortunately after a taking 8 wickets for 34 runs in 5 overs for my local team in a final where there were various scouts from different counties watching the tournament and not getting picked by any of them for trials when i was player of the tournament and man of match in the final and then finding out the 4 players that were selected had performed so bad through out the tournament but had family members playing for these counties so got selected my family told me i had gone far enough and that they couldn't afford to send me to these tournaments anymore when it was so obvious no matter how well i or other asains performed we wouldn't get a chance i dont know if it was racism and i dont want to make such a claim but i always thought if i was white and performed that well would i have got a chance but i gave up and still hurts to this day. i have to mention Arnie sidebottom absolute fantastic bloke he helped me so much and wanted me to continue but deep down he even knew i had no chance of getting any where even though his words i was faster bowler than mullay his son ryan and caddick at just the age of 18 but i hope all this media attention on racism gives other ethnic minorities a platform to have careers in cricket now and produce more players like moeen, rashid, jordan, mills, archer etc.
Sad to hear mate.the talent is there but racist and favouritism still exist sports. Look at the football premier league. Not even one Asian player . Hope things change for the good
@@edge803 thank you yes we live in hope and next few years will be pivotal and hopefully things will change for the better.
@@ADAMKHAN-wd9cu Turns out your pal Mr. Azeem Rafiq himself had made anti-semitic comments in the past.😂😂 A Muslim guy not making anti-Semitic comments is completely impossible.
@@JonSnow-pi6jb the fact that you came here to gloat only further reinforces the extent of the problem we have.
@@rrtind Tell that to imam in mosques who love giving anti-semitic slurs.
Well we’ll we’ll as per everybody jumping in with no hard evidence in some cases then low and behold he’s a racist himself we’ll we didn’t see that one coming 😂😂😂
He's been found out Goughie. This video now makes you look a bit gullible.
who can forget Gough's magic at the MCG in the 98-99 Ashes?
Darren Gough to be new Chairman at yorkshire - This story highlights that UK has long way to go kick out racism . Sport has highlighted whether its football or cricket now that race still a factor when players are discussed . To call a team mate a yorkshire a P*** or there too many you lot is total insult . With Government push inequality and diversity in every work place I think time people held accountable . Wheather is Chairman / Manager or Captains . Most of best Cricket team around world are going shocked at Yorkshire cricket club eg Pakistan , India , west indies and sri lankan - they should boyout playing at Yorkshire and not surprised sponsor like Nike have cancelled deals with club . They need come out change board get Darren Gough as Chairman
We coloured people call on ECB to ban Yorkshire Cricket Club from playing all form of Cricket for the next 5 season, if that happens we can say justice is delivered .
Don't be stupid why implicate a whole county
Is that justice you're looking for? Or revenge? And how many people do you actually speak for, or have you just put yourself forward as a people's champion? There definitely should be consequences to such terrible actions, but to make the innocent suffer as well as the guilty won't heal any wounds.
Al just asking what are your thoughts on Durham University only allowing black netball to be played on black pride day. No whites allowed. That's also racist to us. Don't here that being mentioned in the media. Only GB news have reported this and police are investigating this due to complaints from the public.
@@justice909 you're wrong it was a durham University student complaining about southern universities doing this ,I think down Surrey not sure!
Yeah gb news spoke to a University student and they mentioned Durham but it could be Surrey but there has been complaints of racism from black people to white people. As the young student said they put it on Instagram and she was shocked by it and police are investigating it now is the latest. It's same with leery henry ladt year saying he dosent want to work for a white man again. Even though it's white people who have contributed to red nose day. Jim Davidson shown his remark on his RUclips channel and again bbc did not act out. So black people can also be racist just they get no punishment. Not publicised enough or isn't. That's why I'm interested to see what Al reply is but nothing as yet.
Darren Gough is a national treasure
Why has he not spoken out before then if he’s so concerned and such a good mate
He’s said he’s tried to stay away from it and Tbf the things were very murky with how Yorkshire cricket and the ECB dealt with it.
@@kierondhindsa1413 blah blah blah. Some mate..
@@jimgavin1726 well he’s spoken out on it now. It’s up to the board now to see what happens and they’ll decide. Hopefully you don’t complain with whatever verdict.
@@kierondhindsa1413 I think it’s great he’s owned his own racism!!! Oh, that’s right, he didn’t, he got found out, then the backtracking starts.. I was a different person! I’ve deleted it now! You couldn’t make it up, but I’m sure your ok with his racism and his version of events.. absolutely sickening behaviour, so glad he got found out…
As a Yorkshireman I am totally disgusted the way that YCCC have handled this.
Azeem, poor man.......he made antisemitic comments on his media page, has deleted them and apologised....let’s see if he resigns now as all those who used the P word had to.....Azeem is also now a racist .... hypocrite who is labelling the whole country as racist.
I for one am sick of hearing people of colour groaning about remarks they have heard said or received, I was picked on growing up because I was skinny, lanky , my ears stuck out and had freckles, you have to learn to ignore ever heard the saying “sticks and stones” ? I have heard non whites remarking about white , it happens most is not meant to hurt or offend its banter, stupid yes of course it is, childish! These Guys should stand above it , grow up
What you going to do about it? .....Sweet Fk All !
@@killakam649 if you can’t understand my comments then you need to read and watch more about life, thicko
There is institutional anti Semitism in English cricket isn't there Azeem?
What happened to zero tolerance for racisim?! Is it ok to say to the N word to a black man who you consider a friend???
Respect to Darren
I have respect for Darren…thank you. I can tell you I have played cricket in U.K. since 1968 and also brought my son through country cricket ….I can tell you some of the things I heard and experienced people won’t believe… I KNOW LOT OF ASIAN AND BLACK KIDS HAVE SUFFERED AND GIVEN UP PLAYING CRICKET
ALL I CAN TELL YIU RACISM IS ALIVE AND KICKING IN UK….ASK ORHER SPORTSMAN LIKE FOOTBALLERS, MOH FARAH, HAMILTON …ETC ETC
What goes around comes around in life
Azeem is not a victim in all this. More to come out. Let's hope the media report the rest as much and fairly report both sides when it all comes out.
Go on, unveil all…
How do you know and what do you know, oh the mighty anonymous one?
@@sazidhasankhan9144 of course, nothing. I think it’s wise to side with a white cricketer, who has massive allegiance to Yorkshire CCC, who is siding with Azeem; than a RUclips poster who doesn’t know the victim or the players involved
That won't happen. Woke - virtue signaling is all the rage. Balanced argument is the last thing that will be reported.

Never won the ashes goughy but you’re showing Vaughn how to be a human winner.
Woefully unprofessional from Alan Brazil here
