While posting this content I’m certain that most teenagers are not thinking about what effect these posts could have on their future. But after an unnamed England cricket star was alleged to have sent racist tweets when he was 15 like me - and who now faces possible suspension, we should be. The cricket star’s future in the team is uncertain after it was reported that the ECB were investigating his past negative interactions on social media. Racial comments can never be justified however the context in which comments are said should be taken into consideration. I have less sympathy for cricketer Ollie Robinson, as he was suspended for his sexist and racist comments which he made when he was 19.
