[telkomsuig]

Wtf is an "Amla" ?

Its a cricket player. Shrilankan or Bangledeshi.. or something, somethign that looks like a terorist. I think hes that guy with the turban and huge beard. I dont watch cricket okay.

Oh wait, big screw-up.. Amla is a South African Muslim player..

Hashim plays cricket for South Africa - he wears a turban and has a beard as ekhaatvensters pointed out, except that he is South African.

 

[krycor]

WOW..(ok maybe you just don't watch cricket)

Durban oke, he does not wear a turban(well i've never seen that).. but has a big longish beared. I have no idea how the oke plays tho, i mean its hard with a helmet esp spin bowling at his feet. Speaking of which he must wear a helmet cause if he gets hit by a ball on the chin its gonna be tough to stitch..(i got stitches for that :/ good thing i don't have a beard.)

probably explains why he looks a bit like a crab when he bats

Glad you are not alone hey?

 

[Ekhaatvensters]

Honestly I dont think the commentator needs to be fired for this, I bet alot of people call him the terrorist.. or maby not..

But I really couldnt care, like you guys say, cricket obvously isnt my thing. And australian people are stupid.

 

[Ekhaatvensters]

Glad you are not alone hey?

hahahah, O, Angelo. What a troll.

Maby you should watch this to clarify your views on race: http://www.fat-pie.com/theraceswehave.htm

okay so its a stupid flash thingy, but I love the artist.

"And australian people are stupid"

yep

According to this: http://www.cricket.co.za/default.asp?aId=187121&sportCategory=ucb/sateam, he was actually fired

 

[Vrotappel]

Amla though should really improve on his batting. He failed dismally in this series.

What has that got to do with him being called a racist?

 

[neio]

I was wondering why Jones is called a racist for calling Amla a terrorist, how does calling somebody a terrorist warrant them being called racist?
(on second thought, its probably the easiest label to put on somebody)

Jeez u okes are just as racist as the aussies, had he picked on a "white boy" im sure the comments here would be different!!!!

 

[neio]

Not really, its simply the fact that I dont give a toss about SA sport and what commentators say about them anyway.

Yeah, 'cos "white boys" don't "look" like what people generalise terrorists to look like. It's like calling Amla a "boer" when clearly he isn't.
