South African cricket racism issue: Report implicates Smith, Boucher and de Villiers
- Thread starter Aritro
- Start date
Seems most lawyers also don't get how boucher isn't suspended pending the hearing:

Labour lawyers differ with Cricket SA’s legal opinions on Boucher’s non suspension
The dates for Mark Boucher’s hearing may be set for May but the charges against him are so serious that his employer Cricket SA should have put the embattled national team coach on suspension.

Rapport citing unnamed sources claim boucher was also abused.

Ex-Proteas: Adams called Boucher 'white c**t'
Several players, including Paul Adams, referred to Mark Boucher as "white c**t" in the Proteas change room two decades ago.
Nope just makes the whole culture that team had sickening to me.

Are you really surprised? I mean from my point of view this is just common everyday stuff that people are always doing. More awareness is now around, but largely that has just driven the attitude under ground and made people complain more that they can't just freely 'banter'...

While one might sympathise with Adams (if the allegation is true) as he may have been responding to Boucher, I think the saying 'two wrongs don't make a right' is applicable.
Not surprised at all.
Agreed but its likely a response to years of abuse.
Stil crazy how so many of these people are in positions of power. Nothing will change in SA.

Especially when you consider the racial mix within the side at the time. Adams responding in kind is a classic case of damned if he does and damned if he doesn't.
But you cannot directly equate the two.
Smith was cleared:

It was always going to be a waste of Time and Money but had to be done after the SJN report. The SJN report turned into a witch hunt rather than actually resolving any issues.

Job done for the cronyists?

Not done out of cronyism, I don't think... its more about political and social perception. This whole thing is under-currented with racial attitudes and prejudice.
