Cricket is no more a sport-it's a business

[deepakraam]

I could see slowly cricket is becoming more like a business than to be a sport.The recently born T-20 is garnering advertising costs (15L/10 Sec).Already BCCI is a money-spinner.Trying to arrest its monopoly,ICL came into existence.Even BCCI is trying to garner the advertisers with PCL as rival against ICL.All these are trying to invest in cricket which is turning more like a business venture than like a sport.

Hey cricket is business and now a days any thing where you find more people to appreciate it is Business...

 

[ankitgokani]

i agree to u today they r ready to do anythng for money ..............
wherever we go we hear some or d other cases abt match fixing n now if tht has taken corner seat icl came up with making cricket as a business

 

[arjunswami]

Well,true dat the money involved in the game is doin' all the talking but dat doesn't mean it has deteriorated the spirit of the game.Yes,the BCCI is raking in billions every year but wat has dat got 2 do with the competence in the game.Infact i think the game has evolved even more ever since the shorter versions i.e.ODI n T20 have been introduced.The fielding requires athletism,so does batting requires nerves 2 score briskly.The game has also grown in popularity and thus,ders a sense of patriotism involved in cricket.Just look at the minset of these pplayers nawadays n u wud know dat its a highly competitive sport.

looking from the corporate side its a business but as an entertainer its still a good cricket..........

 

[pahuja.chirag]

yes its becoming business and there is nothing bad in it. its just identifying and grabbing the opportunity

 

[gaurav_41283]

looking at IPL we can say that cricket now is a business. with players being traded and the state teams sold we can say cricket is not a sport

 

[teek_v]

I agree but this is a profession i which business and pleasure go side by side

 

[thesameer]

Can't a sport be a business?
Cricket can also be a business. Nothing wrong about it.

 

[jinxxx]

There is business involved in EPL as well.Players are traded for millions of dollars by teams.Same is happening in IPL.Nothing bad in it.But too bad that money has started luring some players to play for counties rather than for there own countries.

[Arash_Arethna]

But business and cricket go hand in hand

 

[himanshurailkar]

I think cricket is surely business especially in india and it always has been in india..i am speaking on behalf of an unsatisfied fan..there is tremendous politics and corruptions in this field..when we see grounds in aus,sa,nz or eng their main objective is to make people feel comfortable and happy when they come to see the match as of in india grounds are in worst conditions inspite the indian cricket board is the richest sporting org the world..i can't even wonder what they are doing with such hudge amount

 

[tarun_delhionline]

Yes it is a business for the people who are playing & organising it,but for the viewers it's still a sport

 

[madronny]

yes its becoming business and there is nothing bad in it. its just identifying and grabbing the opportunity

 

[siddharth3333]

i think what ipl has done, none other game has done to any country or any other player

 

[amitshah60117]

It is that business which would not get effected by world economy disaster.The main hub for this business is India....

 

[ice]

if it wwould not be a money factor,then thre would be no ipl..none of the franchisee had invest in it..they will all know that they gona earn a lot of profit..after 1 0r 2 season..
