The International Cricket Council supports Mugabe and mass murder
It’s an amazing story and it shows that cricket’s ICC (International Cricket Cunts) is, if possible, made up of even more despicable folks than the International Olympic Crooks:
In an extraordinary development today Malcolm Speed, the ICC’s chief executive, was put on paid leave until his contract expires on July 4 after a severe falling-out with the ICC’s president, Ray Mali, over the organisation’s handling of Zimbabwean cricket.
Mali and Speed reportedly disagreed on the ICC’s decision not to take any major action against Zimbabwe despite a damning independent audit of Zimbabwean cricket recently carried out by KPMG. Speed had previously refused to attend a media conference after the March meeting at which the ICC decided to overlook the audit. He said at the time that he was not prepared to defend in public a decision with which he fundamentally disagreed. Speed clearly believed that the conduct of senior Zimbabwean cricket officials should have been referred to the ICC’s ethics committee.
Mali, who has always made it clear that he supported Zimbabwe cricket and its officials, was believed to have been outraged by Speed’s statement. Subsequently he has gained support from a number of board members and successfully moved to have Speed sidelined into paid leave.
If it wasn’t so absolutely horrendous, it would be very funny. Mugabe has been terrorising, starving and killing his people and is now busily preparing for full scale genocide and the ICC is not only ignoring all of this in its ’sports ain’t politics’ stance, it’s even bending over and spreading its arse cheeks for this evil dictatorship, not even wanting to know if the Mugabe battery boys broke the rules of the noble game itself.
It’s even worse than the president of the IOC bemoaning the disruption of the Olympic flame tour, choosing the side of those who rape Tibet over people who want to protest this and the many other crimes against humanity China habitually commits.
As always, both the IOC and the ICC want us to know that nothing should stand in the way of their corrupt little games. So, if the Olympic flame scorches Tibet in passing, tough – and if the people in Zimbabwe are being butchered in the street by Mugabe’s thugs, who gives a fuck? This is sport, this is big business.
And politics ain’t cricket, that’s for sure.
