IPL - - - - Indian Plagiarized League

.....and GOD said Aa Ha!!!!

I always thought that plagiarism can never enter Sports. I mean come on for heaven's sake how can you say that a particular player has copied the other..you can't even fight against it !!! ....

But, as the Lord may have it .... finally there is plagiarism in sports ...and that is too obvious to ignore.. still not convinced ..and by the way did you think I was referring to the LORD as in the so called Almighty, or may be HE or if you may the Creator ..the Omnipresent etc etc ....

HELL NO!!!......here I am talking about the BCCI chief Sharad Pawar ..as he is the person who literally can do anything with the cricket as he may please..and of course the sport in question is Cricket!!

Let me say something about Cricket first, so that those of you who don't understand the sport may have brief idea about the sport and then of course the die hard fans will have a history lesson!!

Cricket, in ancient times was mainly played by the British, and later on was imbibed by the British colonies, regardless of their own national sports, if such thing ever existed. However, one more point to be noted here, that England never won a Cricket World Cup!!!

Now coming to the real point here, Cricket as a sport was started by the British when they were settled in their colonies outside England and of course they had nothing to do, as they had slaves, and as far as administration part is concerned well they were smart enough to train and hire the local talent for Donkey Work..(not to mention many Indians still take pride of the then ICS (Indian Civil Service) ..which was nothing but to select donkeys for carrying out the load ..and count the number of dead freedom fighters!!!)....so anyhow,

British, when they had nothing to do after the weekend "Balls (public or private)", so one of the genius came up with an idea of a game which will last for FIVE days ....yes GODDAMN IT ....YOU READ IT RIGHT ....FIVE DAYS ........
so this is what the game was ....you start on Monday, you keep on playing till Friday...yeah anyway who cares for the result...and mind you there were no diet pills ..so the men had to sweat hard to reduce the tummy ..after all they were running a country!!! ..(did I say running or RUINING)...

So anyway, you play on the weekdays, then you enjoy on the weekends and the story goes on .....
and yes this time the real GOD said ..Aa Ha....when all countries got freedom, that finally HE doesn't have to go through this terrible ordeal for five days, which most of the times, statistically speaking more than 75% of the time results in ...NO RESULT , a DRAW ..a TIE ....you GOT IT PAL...you play for five days for nothing!!!!

So that's the sport ...

Now, the IPL .. well its a very ...very ..very ..very ..very ...shorter version of the same sport ..which gets finished up within 3 hours and with 100% probability of a result!!!!

So why am I saying its Plagiarism?....

Its in the name stupid ..ever heard of English Premier League!!! ..
ever heard of cheerleaders at the NBA or NFL ...
ever heard of franchise auctions and players auction...as in NBA or NFL Draft!!!
ever heard of Home games and away games....
ever heard of ....well the list goes on and on ....and I don't want to drag....

but .....

ever heard of MANORANJAN KA BAAP.......now that my friend is called as CREATIVITY!!!!!

Cheers to IPL!!!!!
