again doing same mistake by kamal rohra on Sep 27, 2007 11:57 AM | Hide replies
India Won the 20-20 WC appreciated.. but again we are doing the same mistake by giving them too much value as we are doing from last 25 years. Media is responsible for all hype they are creating for these cricketers. And eventually we will find that these players also playing in pressure as we are increasing our expectations. And why are govt. giving money, I don't think cricketers are poor. Better give money to freedom fighters whom we have seen struggle for even 2 times food. BCCI is there to give them prices why should State govts. BCCI is earning thats why no problem even they distribute 50 crores. Why should govts... 5 lacs is more than the annual income of normal middle class person..

i m totally convinced with mr. Arjun's statement. first media is giving too much value, Second when BCCI is giving money why govt. are giving extra money.today no crickter is poor. wat govt is doing for their employee. taxes has been increased. New roads and bridges are being constructed but if we wants to cross that we will have to pay toll tax. wats this? cann't govt invest money on roads and bridges. that will be beneficial for all. And for your kind information, crickters don' play for country, they play for their carrier. i am not against game or any crickter but media should think or govt too.

hockey players r rightly upset. read the statement of hockey coach joquim. it is really foolish of govt to politically gain mileage on ckt popularity. dont waste taxpayers money. yes give them money but from bcci fund. in fact, there is such a disparity in india abt ckt and other sports, bcci shud keep aside some portion may 2% for upliftment of other sports in india. one wud argue why bcci shud make charity for other sports, it is coz they r earning income by huge tax exemptions also.(that also when they say their team does not represent india)
