Our Attitude to our Sportspersons
by Rakesh r on Apr 23, 2007 01:25 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

I dont understand about our hue and cry about our cricketers. What crime have they done? Is that they have made some money playing the game and ads? is it because that they didnt perform in the WC after all this? Why are we all wanting their heads?
If that is the case, we need to first look at our politicians. We need to look at their performances and the money they have made over the years. Why dont anyone raise their voice about these?
Are the cricketers targeted because they are soft targets? Can anyone got any answers for these?
I doubt anyone will have.

cricketers are targeted because the bcci can then divert the public's anger from its own mistakes. who is organizing excess cricket to mint money? who is not taking care of senior player's fitness? who is running indian cricket with no vision? answer lies in all these questions. sharad pawar should be man enough to take the blame on himself and try to find ways to improve the running of indian cricket. but i don't see that happening as india is again going to load itself playing so many meaningless odis this year all for the sake of minting quick money which will go into the pockets of bcci politicians.
