The recent reports have stated that more digging has been going on and other offensive social media posts have been unearthed by Bob The Builder.

I haven't seen any other names besides Robinson's though... Does anyone else know which other England players are in the spotlight for this right now?

Buttler and Morgan posted a few tweets a couple of years back taking the p!ss out of the Indian fans by writing things like "sir, you're my favourite batsman sir" but I wouldn't say it's racist.

Then there's also one in which Jimmy said Broad's new haircut makes him look like a 15 year old lesbian, but I think you're scraping the barrell if that's as offensive as it gets.

Thanks for the info

There's a little racism in all of us, it's an aspect of 'self preservatio' that's in all animals. But most of us do not become overt racists and set out to cause hurt to others.
Putting racist remarksinto writing suggests that person is a true racist believer and gives little thiught to any harm he may cause.
I don't accept that 18 and 19 year olds are so naive that they can be excused so easily. This is the 21st century where when racism has been frequently been big news, ignorance is not believable.
The ECB will almost certainly whitewash Ollie Robinson because otherwise they would have to admit their mistakes in so long turning a blind eye to the subject.

Maybe Lenny Henry should be booted off as racist too then, he made extremely racist jokes about the Chinese in full costume and he was an adult at the time - David Walliams is another one. In fact this guy has to go for disgraceful tweets 8 years ago at 18 years of age and no apology is enough then an awful lot of woke Lefties are going to have to be cancelled too aren’t they ?

Here is what I mean :

How is it that this is OK if the cricketer has to be cancelled for something he did at 18 despite a heartfelt apology ?

Lenny Henry was accused of racism years ago because a lot of the jokes on his TV show were aimed at white people.

His reply "How can I be racist if I'm black?"

18 is a f*cking adult, and more then old enough to know better.

Over 8 years ago... everyone is an idiot when they are a teenager.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That's no excuse though.

At least his apology seemed genuine.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I agree wasnt good what he tweeted but I believe people can change and reform over time. Especially when its something they have did when they were young

People don’t change, not that much.
