HS Reporting:
Australian cricket officials have been shocked by having the bowling action of their series-star in Sri Lanka Matthew Kuhnemann queried by match officials.


not sure why they would be shocked - his action does look a little iffy at first glance
To a schmuck like me, It looks iffy way before he rolls towards the top of the arc (ie when his hand is down low) if that makes sense. It wasn't his first rodeo, why now?

Yep.
Most Islamic folks who adhere to the teachings of the Koran are not like these two clowns. But... like the KKK being the Christian extreme (white supremacy rubbish), there are those disaffected, disenfranchised and down right angry extremists (in any Fundamentalist religion) who are bloody dangerous. And this country cannot tolerate their divisiveness and hatred.
Sadly, some will be emboldened by the behaviour of these two and that can, and does, lead to more violence.
This is a chance for the Aussie legal system/police to bring the full force of the law against these two, to send a very clear message to extremists - bring this sh*t to our country and you will be punished, big time. We must be totally intolerant of such cr@p.
I also feel really strongly about this issue, GTC. These religious extremists must learn something about living in our mostly peaceful, tolerant nation - toe the line with our cultural values and enjoy this ripper place, or FO. Our legal system/police force must send a powerful message with the punishment of these two.
Baggers I feel strongly about this because I lost the best neighbours you could ask for because they no longer felt safe in our suburb (they moved far away from here). Businesses in my area have had to pack up and leave because of the anti semitism (death threats) they received. This behaviour  is so Un-Australian it's not funny and yet we take the softly softly approach with them (far too many for my liking in this country actually seem to sympathise with the rat bags). Indeed as you say, toe the line or FO.

You can't excuse what they were saying.
It was 'deliberate and abhorrent'.
They've paid a heavy price already with the publicity and loss of their careers.
Good luck getting a job in any area.
There may be some criminal charges just as a result of the words
There will also be a pretty thorough investigation to ensure the things they were saying don't have a basis in actual criminal acts.

We can only guess at the motivation.
It may be something sinister, and a 'hate' programmed from birth.

Or was it faced with a person of Jewish background, who is a bit of an influencer,and has as one of his aims the outing of anti-semitism in social media... the intention was to shock and unsettle Max Veifer.
Terrorists or Numbskulls
I'm sure it will be given a full investigation given the current climate.

The maggots haven't paid any price as far as I'm concerned. They are wired to be this way and they aren't numbskulls. They need to be made an example of to stop this from happening again (or at least the next person that doesn't will know what's coming there way). It's completely unacceptable, I have never felt so strongly about something.

The next brilliant move by Aurangzeb is to declare that 09 Feb is “Gulf of America Day” and is bigger than the Super Bowl.  Is it any wonder that he was booed at the Super Bowl, cracked the sads and went home?  Of course, he was also unhappy that the NFL is sticking with its Diversity, Equity and Inclusion program.

What a pathetic excuse for a human being.

I'm confused as i thought you only dealt with clear unbiased facts.  Just a few links when you type in super bowl trump but there is countless reports all along the same lines.

https://www.newsweek.com/was-donald-trump-booed-super-bowl-2028624

https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/us/donald-trump-gets-a-cheer-as-first-us-president-to-attend-super-bowl-taylor-swift-gets-booed/articleshow/118101974.cms

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/feb/9/trump-draws-thunderous-cheers-super-bowl-crowd/

99% of the media are saying the same thing but let me guess all those sources are pro MAGA arent they  ::)  :-[

So the booing that was clearly audible on the footage of Aurangzeb at the Superbowl was canned booing added by Fox ... give it a break.

And, you can always fact check with Snopes:

"However, various videos captured by attendees and reporting from journalists confirmed that Trump received both boos and cheers from the crowd. It's very likely that people in different sections of the stadium reacted differently to seeing Trump, and some areas of the stadium booed while others cheered."

Agree....but if he took one wicket instead of 16 wickets in the Sri Lankan series would anyone be that interested in reporting him?
