'Societal and institutional racism does exist and it is largely because of ignorance and fear'
Picture by Allan McKenzie/SWpix.com - Yorkshire's Steven Patterson takes applause from the fans and supporters as he leaves the field in his last match for Yorkshire.In contrast to Chris Waters’s deflating account of the future for Yorkshire cricket, I believe there could be a bright future, however a few significant changes will need to occur.
The Yorkshire County Cricket club and membership somehow need to find an understanding of the true value of an inclusive, multi-ethnic society. Only when this happens can the club attract, and retain, the enormous wealth of minority ethnic and multi-faith cricketing talent and potential members that exist in Yorkshire itself.AdvertisementWhere societies and groups have been inclusive throughout history, it has been shown time and time again that mutual respect and positive open co-existence, makes for a prosperous and rewarding social context for all, and this can be translated into sport, politics and business.
Chris Waters’s piece is a superb analysis of the Lord Patel driven chaos at YCCC this summer culminating in relegation last week.Your correspondent has doggedly stuck to his task with a credibility and due diligence that Lord Patel could only dream of. As an exercise in high-quality, inquisitive and challenging journalism, Chris Waters has been proven fully justified in his commitment to unearthing the truth.I do look forward to his future analysis of how much Patel and his appointees have cost YCCC.
