A new charity, helped with an initial donation of over half a million pounds from Sport England (which means it’s paid by taxpayers and the National Lottery), has been set up to get more black people into professional cricket.
Apparently, it’s racist that there are so few professional black cricketers in England nowadays. The Chair of the charity, the insufferable Emily Rainsford Brent, is quick to point out the positive influence of the Black Lives Matter movement if you read the link. This one is after a Damehood by constantly playing the chippy race card. You can see it a mile off. Nothing will ever be enough, of course.
I’m a little torn on this, as I’m glad to see an initiative that may stop some black youths from joining gangs, but on balance, I’m annoyed with it.
Why? Well, i think the lack of black kids taking up cricket is mostly because until very recently, cricket wasn’t shown on terrestrial TV like it was before Sky existed. A lack of exposure comes into this. Black kids like football and black music nowadays. They’re just not into cricket.
A big factor though, is that cricket is an expensive sport to take up. The gear is expensive and you need a car/driver if you’re a kid, to lug the gear with you. Therefore, working class kids (of all colours) can be excluded from the sport.
Why not have the charity aimed at helping all working class kids get a chance of playing/coaching cricket?
Oh of course, allowing poor white kids an opportunity would be racist, wouldn’t it?
Let’s take a scenario:
John and Bob sit next to each other at school. They live next door to each other on a council estate. Both are from poor families. They are best mates. Bob is black, John is white. They watch the cricket World Cup Final on Channel 4 together (a one-off for terrestrial TV) and want to try cricket, but can’t afford the gear and can’t get to the venues anyway (no family car).
Bob can get the gear, professional coaching, the chance to play in a team and a lift to practice/matches, all for free because he is black. John meanwhile, can go fuck himself, because he’s white.
This is equality, is it?
I do not appreciate my tax money going towards a racist charity like this, which is seemingly staffed by blacks only too.
Fuck this bullshit.

Absolutely spot on. The number of ethnics in the England squad is already higher than the ratio of ethnics in the country. I love test cricket but the sport wasn’t part of our curriculum at school. As poor white kids we had to play football or lick windows. I’m sure these twats wont be happy until the only white bloke in the team is the one bringing drinks on.

Will there be a similar effort to get white kids into football; they are underrepresented in the England team and Premiership.
26
Paint it black!
I’m surprised if there are any black people left with time for cricket, their all too busy making adverts.
3% of the population but a good 50% in adverts.
We are being dyed black.
28
‘50%’? And the rest!! Every fucking advert is like a meeting of the United Nations.
33
And we’re being forced into a gynarchy. If the ads and documentaries on the lantern are to be believed, we men are now nothing more than sperm donors.

Good point, well made, squire.

The knee-grows will take one look at all the horrendously “white” cricket gear and think they have stumbled upon a clan meeting.
Job done😀👍

……as for keeping their cricket “whites” clean: Fried chiggun is such a persistent stain……
10
I wouldn’t want poor people of any colour turning up at my cricket club.
22
Lol
5
Just wait until they see how hideously white the rugby club is too Fiddler. I should think the only time they have picked up a cricket bat is when they can’t find their machete.
14
But… but… but what about your beloved ISAC followers here?
Surely you wouldn’t turf any of us out if we came knocking on your cricket ground door?
5
I would,of course,love to welcome you….but I hate the thought of your sort being so uncomfortably out of your depth amongst my Pimms drinking and High Tea eating social circle
Perhaps you’d feel slightly more at home having a pie,pint and game of “arrers” at the nearest Weatherspoons ?….at least there you’ll be able to find someone who shares your ( I suspect) interest in yellow-sticker bargains at Iceland.
15
Right common lot aren’t they Dick?
I’ll see you there.
Can I borrow a jumper?
Nearest ive got is a Christmas jumper where Rudolphs nose lights up.
10
Hope you ain’t a fake news peddler fiddler. I’m very apt to the reverse psychological torment.
1
I’m sure we’d cope Dick. It’s likely the members of your cricket club would be the ones left feeling uncomfortable and out of their depth.

If you turned up Miserable, people would think W.G Grace had been reincarnated.

I always thought that Pimm’s stuff had more than a touch of “the gayness” about it…😀

Do they play cricket in Scotland, Lord Fidler?
Everyday is a school day, her on IsAC👍

These days if it ain’t Green, it’s fucking Black.

It’s Tuesday. Shouldn’t you be at Blues practice ?
Woke up this mooooornin’ ………….

What about similar funding to get the dark skinned ones into swimming?
…..or possibly just drowning? I’m not fussy.

What does the West Indies team think about this?
Fuckin loads of black cricketers around!
Same with indian, and Pakistani,
Its loved in the old Empire!!
Its british fuzziwuzzies that arent interested.
Theyve taken up knife sports instead.
Chinkys now, theyd have a point.
Never seen a Jackie chan play?
“Reg before ricket!!”
Maybe theyd not see fast bowls due to squinting?
15
Even in the West Indies cricket is going down the pan with the young. It’s all football and basketball over there, a reflection of television and ever shortening attention spans. Hence all this T20 and hundred bollocks.
Try talking to a Yank about cricket. You play all day for five days and you finish up with a fucking draw!! They just don’t get it.
10
Very true. In the W.I. the kids want to play footie. The old timers have accepted this as the norm. Ive been visiting the Caribbean for years and seen popularity change from test to one day to T20 and eventually football.
Lost my love for cricket a lot lately with all the woke shit going on.

What about steel drums?
They still like them?
Or they all playing Bontempi organs now?
4
There’s a lot of rich American and UK wimminz go there to play the organ.
5
Tastes like liquorice.
Ruff told me.

An odd thought possibly but shouldn’t these woke/ libtards start to demand that 20% of the houses on their street be inhabited by persons of a dusky hue preferably asylum seekers.
Run that idea pass them and see what they think about a bit of diversity on their road.

My local cricket club is owned by a wealthy white businessman who has made his money and wants to give back to the local community. The cricket club ran for years before white kids were almost forced out of the set up and it was predominantly Pàkis running the club, using the practice nets, pitches and facilities that he provided. They were however not using the clubhouse. He told them of his dismay at them not using the clubhouse and they ignored him. When his piss boiled up one day, as he was accused of racism he told them all to fuck off and installed 2 enclosed grass tennis courts and turned the clubhouse into a sports bar. Happy days the bar is now busy most weekends, never seen a Pàki playing tennis and definitely not in the bar. Cunts.

A happy ending Rob👍

Racist cunts

This is a form of social engineering, only recently the Left were whining that there were not enough minorities in tennis and then Emma Raducanu came along, ok not oppressed and black enough but still. What about the 72% of blacks in the NBA or 59% in the NFL or long distance running, a Kenyan or Ethiopian has won every men’s London Marathon since 2002 but you won’t see a whites only athletics club.

I think that you’ll find that their menu is selective.
Cunts!

And they are learning. Trust me we were the most sustainable country on earth. So when they moan sing Jerusalem to them.

They should maybe set up an initiative to get more dark keys into fencing.
I bet they’d be fucking ACE at it.

Haha. Very good.

I wonder how many comprehensive schools in the UK have actual cricket squads? And of those that do, how many are in cities? I might be surprised because admittedly I don’t know the data.
I get the impression that whilst PE is on the national curriculum, the Marxist cunts that dominate education don’t like sport because they all want us in a fucking Borg collective of the same and being ‘competitive’ is bad, the cunts.
Education in this country sucks unless you are lucky enough to have parents that can pay for private education, same as health. Good luck Gove with your levelling up mission.

We could set up the Afghanistan national team with the amount of Afghans piling in. They could play the Dinghy Illegals 11 every year. Winner stays in a Five-Star hotel; loser has a four-star.
Moreover, we could arrange a Wimminz Afghan team where they all play in Burquas.
“…And now coming in to bowl is… erm… whatshername …. and the …erm bats..woman has hit it high.. it’s looped up and…. somebody has caught it….not sure who …erm… …nightwatchwoman…. or maybe a postbox…”

We could have ‘Cricket Aid’ with Malala, B-list celebs and bleached blonde middle-aged washed up Aussie cricketers looking to kick start their TV career.

Aww, fair dinkum moite, that waz an off-cutter.

Just so long as their first international tour includes them dying in a plane crash.

Kids round our way used to play lacrosse. Not black kids, obvs.

Funny, because Lacrosse sounds like a black kids name!

Cannot see many of the stabbies hanging up their arse showing jeans and hoodies for cricket whites. This just seems to be another way of enriching certain members of the wokey/blm twatery. (supposedly) How much money was thrown at that silly munter in the rag bag clothing. That was a damm good con, all that achived was a method of extracting someone elses money from guillible politicians and their ilk. Cunts one and all as per the norm, fuck em all.

Caught with drugs and or a knife
??? Good you will be forced to play cricket for England!!!

ACE. For Spades ♠️

Fuck me don’t let them near a cricket bat.
It will become the new knife.
I wonder what they would do if a young white kid turned up to participate.
No doubt they would send them to Coventry.
I also wonder how this discrimination would stand up in a court of law, if the honky boy was proven to be from a deprived background?
5
If somebody were to film such a thing (a poor white kid being told he can’t play with the other kids, and then being forced to leave by security, all because of his skin colour) then the optics of that would be unmistakable.
Shame on Sports England. I wonder if Rainsford Brent will be campaigning for more cricket on terrestrial TV/YouTube, so poorer kids can watch it, rather than putting almost everything Sky, her current employer?
Yeah, I didn’t think so either.

There seems to be a similar trend with EVERYTHING. Not enough blacks doing this job. Not enough blacks doing that job…..If they are not qualified for a position then they should not be in that position. What if black people don’t want to play fucking cricket. Are we now going to force them to do so? Just fuck off with all this black shit and get on with it. These retards bring up issues that don’t exist. I think it’s just a way to give lottery funding to people who will waste and abuse it. One of the many reasons I don’t put it on anymore. Fuck off you bunch of cunts.

Should be renamed 8-ace.
