Fans Slam Australian Commentator for Racist Remarks on Debutant Mayank Agarwal

Fans Slam Australian Commentator for Racist Remarks on Debutant Mayank Agarwal
Fans were quick to slam O'Keefe for his remarks, with Indian AND Australian cricket-lovers teaming up to defend Agarwal.
Mayank Agarwal who became only the second debut Indian batsman to open the innings at the ongoing Test in Australia, joining Amir Elahi at Sydney in 1947, played really well and went onto to become the second Indian opener to score 50 runs on his debut away from home after the great Sunil Gavaskar.
While fans from both sides appreciated Agarwal's knock, Australian commentator and former cricketer Kerry O'Keefe came under fire for his 'racist' remarks. Doing commentary for Fox Sports, along side Mark Waugh and Shane Warne, during the third Test match between India and Australia, O'Keefe remarked that the triple century that Agarwal had scored earlier in the Ranji Trophy, came against some team like ‘Canteen XI’, where the bowlers were some chefs and waiters. He was also critical of India's domestic cricket scene, and even Waugh was heard saying that 50 runs for India is 40 runs for Australia.Fans were quick to slam O'Keefe for his remarks, with Indian AND Australian cricket-lovers teaming up to defend Agarwal.

1 Tip 1 Hand (Edges & Sledges Cricket Podcast)@1tip1handKerry O'Keefe said the Indian domestic system has teams like "Canteen XI" where the bowlers are Chefs and Waiters. Was trying to undermine Mayank's domestic record. Mark Waugh also said "his average in India is 50 which is like 40 in Australia" 4412:00 AM - Dec 26, 2018Twitter Ads info and privacy

Adelaide Barmies@AdelaideBarmiesO’Keefe is a buffoon. That diatribe on the #RanjiTrophy competition was a. Classic casual racism, b. Disgracefully inaccurate. Strong competition providing an excellent breeding ground for test cricket. I thought we’d got rid of this rubbish with 9 losing the gig. 1718:46 PM - Dec 25, 2018Twitter Ads info and privacy

Agarwal has had an enviable first-class career since the beginning. After making his first-class debut against Jharkhand in 2013, he played 46 first-class as well as 75 List A matches for Karnataka, averaging around 50 runs in both cricket categories. In November 2017, Agarwal scored his maiden triple century in first-class cricket in the Ranji Trophy, which is what O'Keefe was referring to.
Since the uproar, O'Keefe has apologized for his remarks.

Brian (Waterhead Bo) Bennett

Brian (Waterhead Bo) Bennett So who was the biggest black kingpin of all time? Just how do you measure that? Money, volume of dope, power, cultural impact? Perhaps it was Frank Matthews… you can learn more about him in my documentary “The Frank Matthews Story” link. But in terms of documented transactions that we know about for sure, who was convicted in court: One man stands alone. Brian “Waterhead Bo” Bennett. Bennett and his Colombian Partner, Mario Villabona, were eventually convicted of moving nearly l5 thousand kilos that they talked about on certain wiretaps between December of 1987 and November of 1988. Some of the loads were as large as 1000 kilos and cheaper than $9,000 dollars each wholesale. That’s 1500 keys a month for nearly a year. And that’s just on the wiretapped phones. Who knows how much he really sold in total. Claims are made about this one and that one selling more, but 15,000 keys sold for sure is the most we know about for any black dealer. Waterhead B

49ers cheerleader kneels again during anthem before 'Monday Night Football' On Nov. 1, a San Francisco 49ers cheerleader  took a knee during the national anthem ahead of the team’s Thursday night matchup with the Oakland Raiders. She was later  identified as Kayla Morris  of Antioch, California,  a second-year member  of the 49ers’ Gold Rush cheer squad. Morris declined to discuss protest Both Morris and the 49ers  declined media requests  to discuss her kneeling after the Thursday night game, and some wondered if the act of protest would cost Morris her spot on the team. It did not. On Monday, the 49ers had a second consecutive prime time matchup on “Monday Night Football”,  a loss to the New York Giants . Morris back on the field, kneels again Morris was on the field with her Gold Rush teammates prior to the game. For the second straight game, she took a knee during the national anthem.

Colin Kaepernick’s Jersey Is Among The NFL’s Top Sellers

Colin Kaepernick’s Jersey Is Among The NFL’s Top Sellers Even though colin has been out of the league for years, his #7 san fran Jersey is still among the most sold amoung nfl players. Colin Kaepernick is still dealing with being blackballed by NFL owners and general managers, but at least he continues to get love from some from fans. 20 free agent quarterbacks have been signed ahead of him during the offseason, and even the blind can see that it’s a direct result of the stance he took when he refused to stand during the national anthem to protest against police brutality and systemic racism in America. The quarterback who threw for 2,241 yards and 16 touchdowns last year while starting 12 games has only been able to secure one workout with the Seattle Seahawks, despite being a few seasons removed from starting in the Super Bowl. But his fans are showing their support. Among last months best-selling jerseys released by the NFL Shop, Kaepernick ranked 17th ahead of quarterbac

Adam Silver Thinks A Rule Will Make Players Stand For The Anthem

Adam Silver Thinks A Rule Will Make Players Stand For The Anthem The rise of player protests against racial injustice has presented a problem for money-driven league commissioners and owners. An age of enlightenment, social activism and unified awareness concerning police brutality and racial inequality is flourishing in pro sports and motivating Black athletes to finally understand the magnitude of their power and use it to challenge the outdated and oppressive status quo and form of financial and psychological control that has been prevalent in pro sports.   Since Colin Kaepernick took a knee and even before that with the Black Live Matter Movement and players expressing their social and political views on traditional sports platforms such as The ESPYs, the game has changed and league execs and owners are scrambling to find a way to regain control of the minds and bodies of their players.

After the apparel brand announced in September  Kaepernick would be used in advertisements  going forward, James  said  he stood for "anybody who believes in change" and added, "I stand with Nike all day, every day." LeBron James has long supported Colin Kaepernick and the movement the former NFL quarterback started by taking a knee in 2016. Now, this shouldn’t come as a huge surprise to anyone.

Montana Malik Baronette

Montana Malik Baronette This 21-year old has been called the “Number one trigger-puller” by Baltimore city police and was only recently arrested and charged with a 2014 murder. However, police suspect that he is linked to hundreds of violent crimes and more than a dozen homicides as an alleged member of the notorious Baltimore street gang the “Black Guerilla Family”. Nothing makes a killer more infamous than a memorable nickname, and you’d be hard-pressed to find a more memorable name than “Number One Trigger Puller”.  Baronette is currently awaiting trial on the West Baltimore murder of 23-year-old Alfonso Williams.
