IPL whats the fuss???
I don’t understand why the hell some people make such a fuss about IPL.
People say that its not going to help cricket, well cricketers, I’m not talking about the 20 odd ones who regularly feature in and out of the national team, but of the others who are passionate about the game but due to their fate,destiny,karma,whatever could never make it would finally start earning some money.
Do you think the franchise owners, majority of them the biggest businessmen country has ever produced are such collective fools, that they dont know where to put in their money. Grow up they have got better business acumen than the rest of the nation put together.
Kids can think of cricket as a career now, so what if you don’t get selected to the national team, play in IPL for couple of seasons and you make more money than Kapil has done in his entire career.
It’s not going to help Indian sports, that’s a joke yaar. Indian sport is cricket and nothing else. The condition would have been the same if IPL was never formed.
Cricketers would not play for the country but for the league, cricketers play because they like cricket. No one grows up saying I want to do something for the country let me play cricket, you start playing because you like it. Personally for me these 11 people are not my country so even if they win or loose its not my country’s insult.
It’s gambling, forget sports life itself is uncertain, everything is gamble. Its business you put in money and get more money, which you may distribute with a few. All business are built to make more money, if you are not getting any then hardluck buddy.
It’s an insult to the nation when you auction sportsmen. Grow up folks leagues all over the world sell and buy players.
It’s an insult to the nation if women are groped in public, if kids are raped, if people get killed because of religion/caste/language, if you keep the country dirty the list is endless but not when sportsmen have signed contracts to play for their own good. Remember that they are not being sold as slaves.
They say it’s nothing but money making venture, well mate what’s wrong in making money within the laws of the country.
It’s a very stupid mentality that we have grown with, making money is a bad thing; just because you didn’t make it doesn’t mean it’s bad.
If someone else is making let them make it na.
Stop the fuss and enjoy the game.
My favourite is the Hyderabad team, with Afridi, Gilly, Gibbs, Symonds and Rohit Sharma they have a really explosive line up.
