Height of Stupidity
by rajan blue on Sep 26, 2007 02:40 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Congratulations team India for your performance atleast and AT LAST for winning a gully like tournament called T20....
Its amazing to note that a cricketer gets one crore to score 6 sixes and millions of dollars jus for winning a tournament in a cricket match?????? Ironically,a soldier who has sacrificed his most precious thing called LIFE in the Kargil war,or the Parliament attacks or things like those...,and wat does he get????JUs peanuts....A paltry 5 lak which is wat a cricketer gets in a couple of matches.....??? Is LIFE so cheap??!!And cricket so great..Its a game and every cricketer should do well bearing in mind our nation's integrity...Do you think any cricketer would accept to play if you offer him about 5 lak a month?? Rubish...but a soldier would lay down his lilfe not even knowing tat he would not enjoy the paltry money tat the govt would give him....well...truly Iniad politics should be rightly called "POLITE TRICKS"

Well..you don't go and attack a soldier's home when he returns defeated from war... do you?? You don't burn effigies of soldiers who are defeated either....but you do attack Dhoni's house when he performs poorly.... and you burn effigies of Tendulkar when he gets out cheaply....If you think Cricket is just a game then why do we do all these?? Why do we abuse our team and Chappell when he come back empty handed from World Cup Cricket...why do we talk about taking away their endrosements when India loose matches...well...if we do all that then we might as well celebrate their WIN don't you think???

About other sports....How many of you have gone to watch a Hockey match till date?? Isn't it a national sport?? Who has made cricket so big?? why do you bet your money in cricket?? How does BCCI become the richest board in the world..not thru Sharad's pawar's pocket...right??

This only proves what a big hypocrite we are.
