Re: Owning a IPL team...bad business proposition by good boy on Mar 05, 2010 06:46 PM Dear Speaking Tree and all my Naive Countrpeople, IPL teams are owned by people who have weakened and plundered India,they have lot of political and mafia backing. Their real money is in betting,not in ad revenues nor gate receipts. They run their main business house at margins varying from 100-5000% margin and here you are making sense of 3%.    Forward   |   Report abuse

Re: WHY NOT HOCKEY IPL by Antistupidity on Mar 05, 2010 06:20 PM we can never again regain top levels in hockey. the game changed long ago to suit the strengths of the westerners. it became all about power, technology (astroturf, etc) and more importantly, the people making the rules and judgement were no longer indians but westerners. so naturally they schemed to make the game more suited to their style of physical power, strength and stamina and reduce the role of skill and artistry that india and pakistan are more strong in. so now, like in any other olympic sport, it is the stronger, taller, more physical, faster european / american players who will do better in hockey, not indians or pakis. so lalit modi cannot do anything. someone like modi should have come in long time ago when the administration of the game was slipping out of indian hands. so hats off to bcci. since they have a stranglehold over the worldwise administration of the cricket, we still have a chance. even if indians are lesser fit (poor fielders / catchers / runners), there is still scope in the game to win by skill and basic talent (like sehwag - no technique - just see the ball and hit).    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: WHY NOT HOCKEY IPL by Sats S on Mar 05, 2010 06:11 PM I tweeted to Mr Modi on the same. He didnt reply. Actually Hockey is more global, played by more number of countries and also have a olympic medal. But the reality is like cricket not all cities have hockey stadium :( and again there will be lack of spectators and media are not interested in covering hockey like this various reasons for its failure ..so sad, its such a nice tactical game needs so much skills, stamina, power but we will loose it    Forward   |   Report abuse
