Racism in Cricket


I know this might cause some stir in the group but I wont to see what people think.

I umpired a game yesterday were a bloke called this other guy a WOG, now the worst thing bout it we both didn't hear it, but as I said to the other umpire why would he say he was called a wog.

But my question is that what if we have to Greeks in a team and someone called them both wogs, but 1 was offended, I hate the racism is sport but it does happen, so what would others do or think of this incident.

I will also point out that I have a aboriginal friend and we often make joke like when it dark we say “Smile Col so we can see ya” and its taken as a joke... So were do you draw the line, like I wouldn't do it to a stranger but am I for that comment being racist.

It's funny but 30 years ago calling someone a wog was considered very derogatory. These days it sounds tame. In fact you don't hear 'wog' said very often at...

I'm not sure I agree with you Riff when you say that the term "wog" is now considered unacceptable. From an Aussie perspective, the majority of immigrants in...
