No, no, no, Yahoo. Don’t you get it? He’s not anti-African; he’s PRO-European. Don’t you know that the British are above condescension? Cram is merely trying to help us Africans; to civilize us; to make us better fans and by extension better human beings. Speaking for myself, I know that when I watch sports, I always look to third-rate has-beens-who-never-quite-were for advice on etiquette.

Osas – looks like you need a lesson on what racism is and you appear to be a little confused. Just because Cram did not come outright and state “Damn africans and their hot humid climate” does not mean he is not racist. The article was racially prejudiced (the Kenyans were not as civilized as the Europeans will be in Edinburgh). As subtle as his racist undertones are, they are still racist. Remember, discrimination and racism is more often camouflaged than direct.

There is not a single racist grain in Cram’s musing. His assessment of the reasons of the outcome may be flawed, but the only racist comment I see here is yours.

i wouldn’t go so far as to say that he hates kenyans or africans, i think he’s just bitter and a bad loser and he’s letting his competetiveness get the better of him…
