i havnt posted for over a week so this will belive it or not be short.

following the controvesy surronding the racism by darren lehman, i am thinking that i need to comment.
darren lehman has been accused of being a racisit and murili murlilitilan claiming that he will place a cluase in his new contract that he will not tour australia again. YAY.
but my mind thinks back. a number of years ago austrlia was drawn to play spain at home in the davis cup. our players were sledged and theatened phyiscal violence and were caused to be scared by this. now after this the ITF critisiced the fans but no further action was taken. when austrlia vistits a number of countries we have to bear the grunt of the violence and hate. but as we are anglos it is not racism nor does it cuase an up roar.
i personaly belive that we need to take a step back. being abused by the crowd is part of sport. not nessacry but it is part of sport. all sports people should just grin and bear it and accept that where ever they go there will be some one who does not like them.

i ask for common sence to prevail or austrlia will not go any where ecpt for europ and america.
for the sake of world sport we need these people to compete and we need for the world to get a girp. they are one part of a team and they need to accept that there is viloence in the world and sport is not exempt
