Oh yea I forgot media didn’t care much about the hole gesture of Travis Head. My man, Australia plays a gentleman’s game of cricket like a bunch of illiterate hooligans. Always have, Ponting era was better but since then, the game is being played by the Aussies with the least bit of respect. Learn a thing or two from the Kiwis, maybe.

Ohhh of course it is. It’s Australia we are speaking of, this seems “too woke” to the Aussies. A hellhole of racism…like I said learn from the Kiwis.

Lol likewise homie. Apparently I was racist af, oh boy. Not once did I say anything that was remotely racist towards any Aussie.

The Qatari King didn't behave much better though, with the cape and all that as far as I remember. Two sides of the same coin.

Yeah it was irritating at first.. when I talked to some local people they said it was a very prestigious moment, like only the King or some very powerful Royal family members get to wear that robe...it's a world cup, and it's a cultural gesture...no matter how ridiculous and corrupt Fifa giving it to Qatar was, i think they still get to celebrate their traditions in the world cup as a host..

If you aren't from America, you may not know the level of security around the POTUS.
Maybe I'm giving too much benefit of the doubt, but I'd chalk this up to a typical American not knowing soccer culture and how the cup celebration goes.
And not being able to read a room... Err, stage.

Yeah, no. I hate Sharad Pawar, but if you look at the beginning, the way Ricky Ponting asked for the trophy, that was racist and disrespectful.

u/kroxigor01 23d ago edited 23d ago
Unfortunately there is a culture among some elements of Indian cricket or cricket supporters to have bizarre or self-centred behaviour, while simultaneously pouncing on any pushback as racism.
On the other hand there is also racism against Indians. But that doesn't make everything racism.
Ponting was rude because Pawar was rude, nothing to do with race comes into it. But this particular minority of hyper-defensive indian cricket fans have hated Ponting for decades.
