Rafiq has admitted the offensives tweet. It doesn’t change his piss poor treatment by Yorkshire.

Rafiq was just having banter with his mate. There's nothing wrong with that is there?

The point being made by posters is he should of come forward with this One Tweet he posted over Ten years ago. Would he even remember?Look what happened to Bernardo with the Mendy tweet though, had the twitter police been around back then would he have suspended from cricket? Everyone has skeletons, how far back do we go with this shit, but if you start to have a go at people you better put your own house in order.

Not according to YCC. They probably retweeted them with a lol and a thumbs up.

Although YCCC treated him appallingly, if it was me I would have moved to another county if it got as bad as he says it did, can't understand why he put up with it, he was a talented cricketer who could have had other counties in for himIt’s not though is it. He was viciously bullied for a decade on a regular basis, turning him into a shell of a man. A couple of Tweets aren’t on par with what Ballance has done. It’s worth remembering he asked the bullies to stop many times first and then went to YCCC to make it stop. He hasn’t done this to get fame or the spotlight, he’s a broken man.

Let them without sin cast the first stone, no amount of window dressing will ever atone for the casual racism be it left wing or right wing that is perpetuated by a large section of our media which seeps into the semi-consciousness of our national psyche.
It’s a complete cluster fuck from which there is no obvious way out, it’s fucking depressing really.

Two wrongs don't make a right but it's also quite a leap to equate the respective charge sheets.I
Noticeable that now Rafiq is in the dock there's a lot more people with an opinion on the matter.

Unlikely. The point of digging this up is not just to discredit Rafiq, but to deter others from coming forward. Everyone has done and said shit they ain’t proud of, all you can do is apologise and take the lumps. It has no bearing on the treatment of Rafiq.
You have a similar dynamic with rape and sexual assault cases where there is a drive to hunt for anything in the victims past that can hurt their case.

Rafiq said that time and time again though, that those who said things all those years ago won’t remember.The point being made by posters is he should of come forward with this One Tweet he posted over Ten years ago. Would he even remember?
