IPL
by truthisgolden on Feb 21, 2008 09:15 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

I follow cricket immensely. iam very much passionate about the game, but my schedules let me follow only indian matches out of patriotism and love for my country. I watch cricket to see india win against aussies n pakis the most. the other matches i do follow them but only on rediff or news paper for a minute or two. The same would be the case of millions of we indians. ICL and IPL cannot be successful as much as icc one days and test matches are. in the pretext of entertainment indian money to the tunes of millions of dollars cannot be showered on international players making a way for our hard earned money to go to west. The domestic circuit matches should be played to enhance the skill of our indian players not to make an hole in indian money. Instead use this money for the welfare of athletics and sports person. Improve the facilities and training academies. Automatically cricket will entertain more indians. MORAL OF THE DISCUSSION: We indians are loosing money!!!

it is true that we Indians are loosing money. But consider this, BCCI is making everyone, especially aussie and pakis, including the monkey, to dance to their tunes.

Right!

Indians are flushed with cash.

They have money to waste!

This IPL deal is a copy of professional sports in the US.

Like NFL and NBA teams are owned by the super-rich in the US, India's own new super-rich are trying to recreate the same scenario here!

There is nothing pioneering about it. How do you think MF Husain's "paintings" became hot property with India's elite?

When these poor-rich people couldn't buy "art" in the global markets, they decided to start their own!

People like SRK (a modern-day nautch girl) don't have the money to "buy" a NFL or NBA team so they have started their own league!

Big Deal!!
