Ex-cricketer’s anti-Muslim Tweet
January 26, 2012
We are all used to the bogot losers’ ignorant and vile comments which we regularly feature here.
But in a fortnight which saw anti-gay comments by former tennis great Margaret Court pilloried by most of the community and the media we expect better from other retired sports greats.
Not so. Retired cricketer Rodney Hogg gets his little dig in on Twitter.
Do us a favour, former sports stars. For the sake of Australia, unless you are talking about your sport or wish to add positively to social cohesion in Australia.
SHUT THE FUCK UP!

I told him what I thought of him on his (very low on followers) page.

Ha ha ha LOL! The video is just hiliarious! Best so far.
That video is a classic.
Something people may not know was that the cricketing world boycotted South Africa during the apartheid era. But there was a so-called “rebel tour” of some Australian cricketers. Guess who was on the team!

Yeah AngryAussie is a legend, been subscribed to him for a few years.
This one is probably one of my favorites
According to The Australian (http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/nation/cricketer-regrets-allah-slur/story-e6frg6nf-1226254734513), “[Rodney] followed up the tweet almost two hours later with: “Bad attempted Australian humour, sorry if I offended you.”
I call bullshit on this. He isn’t sorry about what he said, he’s just sorry people called him out on it.
What do you expect with this idiot. He played in both Australian Rebel Tours of Apartheid South Africa in the 1980s. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebel_tour#Australian_tours.2C_1985.2F86_.26_1986.2F87)
Speaking of cricketing traitors who took South African Apartheid money – fellow squad member Carl Rackemann is standing for Bot Katter’s party in the seat of Nanango in the upcoming QLD election. (http://www.ausparty.org.au/who-we-are/our-people/profile/25/carl-rackemann)
