How the hell can Lalit Modi be responsible alone??

Sports management in our country has always been a shoddy and corrupt affair. The only reason cricket looked better than the other sports was not solely because it was managed better but because it simply had too much of a fan following amongst the billion people of this huge country.
A few years ago however this madness was complemented with efficient management, a fierce ambition and aggressive vision to create a supremely successful product called the IPL and the man responsible for this turnaround was one Mr. Lalit Modi.

Today as the IPL juggernaut rolls out of its 3rd season and looks a mammoth money making machine the man who started it all has been suspended and shunned.
I have no false notions that Mr. Modi is clean as he claims to be but I am also not naive to believe that the holier than thou authorities who are passing judgments on him are equally clean and innocent.

It is thus not about who is guilty, for they all are. It just is to be noted as to who is more guilty than the other! Thus i ask-
Who is more worthy of hoarding money?
The crisp clothed Babu’s who never had the vision, drive or the desire to give us an event like the IPL or a Modi who slogged his arse off day in and day out to make the event a grand success amidst the web of red tape’ism and babudom!

Who is more dangerous?
The grim faced slow moving authorities whose vested interest and shrewd moves have been ever so successfully covered up from us and who claim to be the guardians of the common man or a brash and flamboyant Lalit Modi who wears his success on his sleeve for all to see and envy and burns the midnight oil to see his dream come true!

Who deserves suspension?
The ever greedy authorities who sat by the fence all along and ate the cream while it flowed to them or a Lalit Modi who worked to get rich and worked hard at it.

There is no independent committee appointed to punish Modi. It is been done by the same people whom he offended.
N. Srinivassan- a member of the governing council as BCCI secretary and a president elect for BCCI- is passing judgment on Modi’s favours during franchise bidding.
He is the owner of the Chennai Super Kings Franchise!!

The supremo Mr. Sharad Pawar whose word is taken as full and final on every matter of IPL and BCCI is not even a member of the BCCI governing council!

The entire media was aware of the facilitation fee over which the fracas is happening, however BCCIclaims to be unaware of it! Lols!!

There are many such snippets of considerable importance that shall be kept hidden. Thus, for me it is not a matter of what happens to whom for they all made money and got rich while I had fun watching the games and see Sachin play!

However it only pains when in the stadium of nature, under the lights of circumstances and in the match of life the referee above takes time to intervene while unfair play carry’s on...and we continue to be –spectators!
