A reminder that this is not bringing politics into sport—it’s bringing human rights and equity into sports. Because sports is absolutely not free from racism, and acknowledging this is the first step towards the change black people deserve.

i’ve been telling jso to disrupt the cricket for ages it only took them a year

#idk what people here think of jso #i was part of it from the start and have been arrested multiple times for them #but last summer i left bc the internal situation is awful #and i currently have deep dislike for them #but i still support their public actions #bairstow carrying my mate off is pretty funny ngl

Don't you love when a report is published saying cricket is deeply racist, sexist, etc. And all the men in the comments come out with "woke bullshit" or "why should the women be paid the same as the men when they're not as good" or "playing for your country should be an honour you don't need to be paid" or "yawn" or "I've never seen racism or sexism in the years I've played cricket" or "I'm white and have received anti-white racism" or "keep this woke bs out of cricket" or "no one cares focus on the ashes for a change" or "What absolute nonsense. Stop stoking hatred by making unfounded comments like this. You're part of the problem. Let sport be sport. you will never reach the utopia that you virtue signal for."

I mean??? Take a fucking look in the mirror and realise that the report is talking about you!

fun things abt this:

a cool gender neutral equivalent of nightwatchman (bcos lbr nightwatcher wasn’t as cool)

the idea that ben and brendan approached stuart like ‘hi stu we still rate you as a batter and that’s why you’re a nighthawk not a nightwatcher right ?? see if anything it’s a promotion !! we wouldn’t trust just anyone to be our nighthawk !!’

the tory government is imploding

#today has been a good day 🥰#england cricket #stuart broad

HELPING BUDDIES 🥺

OMG I DIDNT CHECK NOTIFS BUT THIS MADE MY DAY!!! HELPING BUDDIES MY BELOVED 🥰🥺
