Billions Being Fooled For Millions of Money?

Scams, scandals and corruption,  have become synonymous to India. Crores of rupees go down the drain and get locked in the hands of people who do not deserve it. What makes it more disgusting is the fact that people target sports as a source of infusing their acts of fraudulence.

I need not talk about how addicted we Indians are towards the sport of cricket. We wouldn't bother skipping a meal but we just can't refrain from watching Sachin Tendulkar play! Yes, I agree that it is a 'good' addiction but looking behind the curtains, you are most likely to find something which is alarming, disappointing and absolutely shocking.

We stay glued for hours to the TV screens to hoping that our favorite team win, we spend thousands of rupees to buy tickets in 'black' to watch our favorite stars on the pitch. It is because of us that the BCCI has become the richest cricketing body in world. But, what we get in return is something we need to ponder upon. With all the scandals and betting allegations which is giving the media a good time, there is definitely a point where we think 'Are we being fooled?'. Yes, that's a fact indeed.

The rot in the apple is deeper than we think it is. Team owners, players and who else do you need to spoil the name of this game? We hope that in the times to come, players with integrity step will on to the field rather than players who are looking at cricket as a 'quick money churning machine'. Let us not speculate on what the media says. I'm not here in support of the Indian justice system but I'm sure truth shall triumph someday. There is still hope ! We still believe, ONE CAN CHANGE a billion fans' fate.
