The Sun says MAJOR sponsors have ditched Yorkshire over their handling of the Azeem Rafiq race scandal – with ex-England star Gary Ballance admitting to using a ‘racial slur’ against the spinner.
Emerald Group Publishing – who hold naming rights to Headingley Stadium – Yorkshire Tea and David Lloyd Clubs have followed shirt sponsors Anchor Butter in walking away.
Bingley-based Emerald said: “We will no longer sponsor Yorkshire.
“We hope that YCCC will respond with serious action to eradicate racism and uphold the values we all expect.”
