IT IS JUST A GAME, NOT A WAR!!!!!!!!

How many times and how many years and how many lives will it take to realize for our impulsive, reactive, angry, so called patriotic, intelligent, gruesome, nasty and ugly Indian and Pakistani crowd to realize its just a game and not a war. Are u guys crazy? Are u guys insane? Or are u guys plain stupid. Bob Woolmer (the Pakistani coach) died due to whatever reasons but he jus could not have beared emotional backlash that Pakistani crowds would have had in store for him. Tomorrow no foreigner would like to coach such senseless nation anymore. What is this? It is worse than anything you can imagine. You guys should learn to be bit more sensible and be bit more selfish. Yes selfish. The problem with us Indians and Pakistanis is that we are not selfish. You will never see an American fan dying for America if America loses in sports because he is selfish. You will never see Flintoff swearing an Aussie in Ashes clash because he is selfish professional. But you will see Prasad swearing at Sohail or Afridi swearing at Indians because they are not selfish.

Yes the reason is not tat we are too bad but rather we are too good. We are very emotional people. It is important to be emotional. We are unselfish people. It is important not to be selfish. We are very patriotic people. It is important to be patriotic. But the problem is we are selfish, unpatriotic, unemotional when we need to be (like in real life situations) and we are patriotic emotional and unselfish (like in this bloody game called cricket) when we do not need to be.

I have been a student of game called cricket for 16 years now. Recently I was in for a shock and deeply hurt when my so called close friend called me Pakistani!!! Then I heard of Bob Woolmer’s death and this prompted me to write this article.

Our Indian team for this World cup had so many deficiencies that it was bound to fail and not because Sachin did not score, Dravid did not stay, Ganguly had hatred for Dravid etc. Our fielding standards are so low that we just could not stand in the world arena. Moreover in not selecting Mohd Kaif, Pathan, Raina, Powar, our selection committee gave Dravid a very lame team strong on experience less on youth. It was only natural that we were going to fail in the World cup and there is no reason for us to be so disappointed.

And we have to realize that "It is just a game and not a war!!!” You guys out there got to understand this is just a game formed by clubs representing our country. Our club is BCCI. Only difference between club matches and cricket match is that u have to be Indian citizen to play for Indian club. So if tomorrow India becomes so developed and Pakistan so poor. Then India can hire players from Pakistan and make them Indian citizens and they can play for India. Yes Pakistan born Pakistani citizens can play for Indian Team. It is true and it’s a fact of life. This is a club game. They play for a club called BCCI and not country called India. The only difference is they are so called Indian citizens. So this time living in American continent, I am supporting a club called West Indies. Yes West Indies, the club called West Indies. This fortunately or unfortunately have people from Indian origins. I will support this club no matter what other guys call me, because I know am correct. Call me unpatriotic, Pakistani, Muslim terrorist, Indian traitor.
