The other day I was at a bookstore and watched someone buying a copy of the book "The Gamechangers" written by the man who calls himself "Fake IPL Player" - such a coward. Anyway, his cowardice is a completely different topic to speak about. But I have a question for people who endorse him by buying his book. The fake names he christened for those involved in the IPL were funny. Everyone enjoyed it. But consider the names again. Were they really enjoyable? Did you really enjoy making fun of cricket players using those names? Take for example the name Appam Chuttiya. Appam is a popular dish in Kerala. By naming Sreesanth as Appam Chuttiya the coward has made fun of not just Sree but the whole of Kerala! But then we only see the joke and not the intention of the perpetrators. To put it straight, every fake name he conjured up was the result of a mind bent on racism. And here we are endorsing him by buying his book and making him even more famous! God help us all.
Speaking of racism, it is good to see some cricket boards objecting to the appointment of racist Howard as the ICC VP. The man is from a country that is known for racism and has himself been racist enough to call Murali a "chucker". What else would one need to banish him from cricket? I think the Asian nations in the ICC must reject him outright!
