There are to many racist cricket clubs in Scotland, what should be done about this?

Complain, complain and complain again.

Write to the secretaries of the clubs concerned, the local newspapers, your local council - anyone to bring people's attention to it. Racism is a crime which should be stamped out now for once and for all.

Hi Mani, why do you think this?

Iv been playing in Scotland for a number of years, and only come acoss one incident of racism. (which is bad enough)

However, IMO it is a problem of a few individuals and not whole clubs.

But complaining to the authorities is the way to go, try get the offenders out the game for good.

Welcome, Scottie, to CricketWeb. Nice to see that we've picked up a couple of members from north of the border in one day.

How'd you reckon the Jocks will go on in the ICC Trophy over in Ireland this year?

Thanks,

I think we could go all the way and win the ICC Trophy :D
We have our strongest side in a longtime, and with Brown, Hamilton and Coetzer all hopefully relesed by their counties we should finish easily top 3 and hopefully win it.

Tell us a bit more about it.. If you've suffered racial discrimination, then the league you play in should know about it..

One of the issues we've had as a club is being refused a lottery grant because we can't show our commitment to developing cricket amongst minority groups. It's happening everywhere here.. Which is a shame, because there aren't any minority groups here.. (Unless we force the Jamaican woman at the college shop to pad up just so we can get the grant)

Racist clubs do occur, i think they occur in everysport everywhere. go public is the best way. players will be banned and even clubs.

In italy there is the racist problem in football.... Mostly by Lazio fans... which consider them self "facist"... The make noises and sing racist songs to most black players... Except the really good ones like Adriano...
