RE:Cry babe Australian
by roses dear on Oct 18, 2007 03:15 AM

A nonsense is not an effective response against another nonsense.
It is ok if someone boos - what is sickening in this episode is the personal attacks at an individual that is perceived as racial. While, it is another debate that it is racial or otherwise - its deplorable to see Indians monkey and taunt a visitor. Boo him and make him realize the displeasure of being a cry baby, but for gods sake not taunt and tease him like a caged animal in a zoo. Instead if setting an example, we do exactly what the crowds did to Murali. If that is justified, then by all means, lets me the splendid specimens that the 4 crooks were, lets go against our culture of "Athithidevo Bhava", lets not take the side of the meek and behave like a bully that we have become in the cricketing world.

But shame on all the folks who support what the 4 fools did. Shame on all the folks who believe in an attitude that encourages distasteful, meaningless, personalised version of a sport that we have come to like
