Rasool the Fool?
Did anyone else watch Boots ‘n All on Thursday evening last week. The show was hosted at Primrose rugby club, in Cape Town and was hosted by Darren Scott.
Guests on the show included the Chairman of Primrose (the name escapes me), Ebrahim Rasool, Ashwin Willemse and Bryan Habana.
Darren Scott was posing questions to Rasool, and in answering one made the comment “If we didn’t win the match, we made sure we won the fight.”, which was greeted with muffled laughs.
I can’t help but wonder how appropriate this was in a province where rugby violence is rife…. Players have been maimed and even killed in club matches in the WC. And then up steps a prominent politician who (albeit in a tongue in cheek manner) advocates violence in rugby. This only days after his claims that Luke Watson is being overlooked on a racial basis.
Is Rasool a fool, or am I being too sensitive?
