I am beginning to think that Cricket is/was a racist game. It still is, but in a softer sense, overshadowed by the more benign but nevertheless arrogant outlook towards weaker nations.
Following the South Africans, at an individual level many English, and some Australians have at times come out of the closet to display their utter ridicule towards "weaker" nations. And for long, some Indians had followed suite with their haughty demeanor and ridicule of neighbors trying to play the same game. And finally, one prominent West Indian has also turned color.
I say we here at BanglaCricket petition to ICC to brand the word "Minnow" at the same level as the N word in the USA. Using that terminology should be a crime. If you cannot write non-associates or associates vs. regular teams, you have no business writing about cricket.
What say you all?
