Does greed explain their behavior. The stakes are just too large as you rightly pointed out. They are willing to even undo their reputation to earn that extra buck(here match fees which by the way doesnt depend on performance). So he sticks around for as long as possible,remember Parthiv Patel.<br /><br />But does greed really explain this behavior. The apologetic condition in which many of our sportstar live and die. Who would want to go back to the same shit hole again. Not you, not me, not nybody. You just cant blame them. <br /><br />So who to blame for this so called besharami. It's the system stupid. <br />Improve it. Come up with a good public safety net, improve the livin conditions of domestic players(better match fees, training facilities, better jobs) That will do the trick.<br />Let me end by saying that when its a matter of self preservation of you and your family...ego takes a backseat and common sense prevails which you in your article have simply called Besharami...<br />Think about it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09689918105291660655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6181644782180453348.post-16115728943960538202006-12-27T01:30:00.000+05:302006-12-27T01:30:00.000+05:30Why do Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini still danc...Why do Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini still dance around through Baghbaan to Baabul? Why does Dharam paji take up a lead against none other than Mallika who is famous for you know what? Why does Shahrukh take up so many ad assignments despite being called the King Khan of Indian celluloid? In my very own home, my Dad refuses to retire from work, although he retired from his service career sometime back. He has started as a consultant and is doing fairly well. It all boils down to the mental state (read fear) of being stamped as a retired person (read vegetable for the younger generation) awaiting you all know what, irrespective of the age. And then the financial concepts in India have always taught Indians to never rest with the money they have, irrespective of however well off they may be. This is indeed an innate fear-generated tendency of Indians to make and save money from whatever means are available to them. They somehow can never stop fearing that one day, all that they have earned is going to be finished and that they are going to see that day in their lifetime. Call them Besharams or what, they wont stop! That explains the actions of our cricketers too. Only, there are other angles like lethargy, being not answerable and accountable, being generally soft, complacent and lacking the killer instinct, having no fear of or pressure from hooliganism and frenzy of crazy fans, red tape and lobbies that make up for more than BESHARMI!!Amitabh Mishrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10933907992563172748noreply@blogger.com
