Am hour back, I was talking to my nephew about England and USA qualifying in FIFA WC and my N commented on the fact that STAR Cricket channel was showing Wimbledon.
The conversation went like this:
me: what else do you expect?
N: Unc, tell them (STAR Cricket) that it is hilarious – a channel with ‘cricket’ in its name, broadcasting Tennis!
me: what else can happen. There are 2 FIFA WC matches at same time and TRP matters.
N: But, a channel with ‘cricket’ in its name, broadcasting Tennis!
me: come on, nephew, most of India must be watching football now, not cricket or tennis.
N: Even then, a channel with ‘cricket’ in its name, broadcasting Tennis!
So it went on for about 10 minutes,till we both agreed that when the FIFA WC is on, people watching cricket are NOT sports lovers… they’re unknowing beings who can’t understand anything more than cricket.
Reminds me when I told off a cricket official about 10 days back, not to talk to me of cricket till July 11th. That I think is the last word.
BTW did you notice the word play? ‘Unknowing beings’ is another *polite* way of saying ‘idiots’ isn’t it?
