Indian Premier League
The Twenty 20 Cricket festival called IPL is being held outside India !
The Prestigious Indian Cricket Gala Event is to take place in South Africa !
The Indian Premier League shall not be played on Indian soil this year....thanks to the combined strain on Nation's security machinery....due to General elections and a potent threat of a terrorist attack.
There have been mixed reactions to this shift of venue.
Die-hard cricket fans....as well as the event organisers/franchisees are happy. It is much better to have an Indian event outside India....rather than not having it...at all !
The puritans are critical....
They argue that it is the greed and lust of a few ....that is causing this 'embarassment' to occur !
Whatever one says...
cricket fans would get to see their favorite cricketers in action ....in a slam-bang tournament...once again !
Franchisees would make some money!
Security agencies of India would heave a sigh of relief !
Cheer Leaders would be cheering !
The players would make a neat killing !
So why complain ?
Only thing we can say ....and it may be seen as a criticism by IPL elite:
Why call the franchisees as 'owners' of players and the teams !
We can...if we want....find a better word to describe the relationship between players and the businessmen who bid for them !!!
