I'm glad you cleared that up, because I was a bit puzzled why Bresnan apologised for and then denied the allegations
With Hoggard (and perhaps Root too), the Yorks chairman has come out and said that Yorkshire CCC was institutionally racist, so perhaps in an organisation like that, after a while, this sort of unacceptable behaviour becomes normalised and some players just get sucked into accepting its normalcy without thinking too much about it or challenging it.
When I was a boy the local corner shop was routinely called the P shop. They were nice people, but I will have referred to it as the P shop, because that's just what everyone called it. That will have been 47 years ago and I wouldn't dream of referring to it in that way today not just because it's unacceptable language, but also because it doesn't reflect who I am. It wouldn't have reflected on who I was back then either, it was just part of a culture that is now, thank goodness, outdated. All that being said, it's good that every incident like that is challenged, because it highlights to everyone that this is simply not acceptable language or behaviour in any environment and within any workplace culture.
The banana/monkey treatment of Chambers is just plain disgusting. The person or people involved in that will be really worried right now about their names being made public.... and so they should be
