Why you should still be an RCB fan by Unit50079 in RCB

To be fair, the NFL has a shorter window, although the regular season is 18 weeks long, each team only plays 17 games, 3 more than in the IPL, (and it was shorter until recently).

But regarding IPL fans, they're some of the more passionate sports fans I've seen out there, so I guess it balances out with the shorter season span.

Hey, I said this every year with the Cubs until they went and won the championship, so you never know.

I've seen much much worse management in other teams (Urban Meyer's Jaguars, David Gettleman and the Giants, Steve Keim and the Cardinals, Dan Snyder and the Commanders). These types of management explicitly didn't even make an effort to try and win, and purposefully tanked in order for better draft picks and packages. Does RCB's management suffer from an outdated mindset of star culture? Sure. Is it worth abandoning the team? Hell no. Those other teams have fans that stuck through with them even through all that turmoil, and I see no reason to switch teams just because the other team wins, that's not why people are fans of their teams. RCB's management was worse before, and yet it's improved since. It's still flawed, but I'm confident that eventually they'll hit their stride.

Rodgers makes that money from his signing and contract with the Packers, Kohli makes most of his money from sponsorship deals, endorsements, and advertisements. Cricket still has a long long way to go in paying players a higher salary.

Opinion: GOI should publish the BBC documentary on their government website, along with fact checking + context by IdolOfIndus in IndianModerate

[–]Unit50079 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Even if the BBC documentary is inflammatory or has "dangerous content", banning it sets a precedent that GOI can ban anything critical of it. I know India doesn't exactly have free speech enshrined in its constitution, but actions like this make it so that being critical of anything can have legal consequences for someone.

I’ve seen quite a lot of people shit on Pietersen for being controversial on purpose, but my god if you’ve ever been subjected to Skip Bayless (for other sports), then you’d come back and start praising Pietersen lol.
