Australian cricketing icon David Hookes has been savagely bashed to death outside of a Melbourne pub. “Hookesy” as he was known was an exciting cricketer whose outspoken views sometimes landed him in hot water. For instance, he once called Shane Warne’s accuser a “dopey, hairy-backed sheila” and said “Beware of the Jew bearing gifts” in reference to mining magnate and former Melbourne Football Club president Joseph Gutnik. He later apologized. Despite these offensive comments, his death is a tragedy and a shock to many Australian cricket fans. I was personally disgusted by his anti-Semitic comments, but admired him as a cricketer and coach. Condolences to his family and fans.
