You've captured both the euphoria of the win and the hard questions that need asking. The pay parity myth especially needed this autopsy. This is sports writing that celebrates without losing sight of what still needs fixing.
With so much money in the bank, why can't the BCCI open up new venues and send the men's team there to increase awareness (or any other nonsense they can say to satisfy themselves) and give the 'popular' venues to our girls. Let them take the Eden gardens, the Chinnaswamy, the Chepauk, the Wankhede and everywhere else. Money follows boys is the logic, let's put that to use?
Thank you for this, thank you for every write up you choose to share with us, wonder boy
Ahaha, but state association ko khush rakhna hai xD Unko bhi cash cow chahiye. So if they take the men's team to random stations, the state associations get angry, which will be a problem for the BCCI head honchos because votes nahi milenge next election mei
Celebrating win while asking the tough questions 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Going from tribute to clear-eyed assessment. Top stuff.
Thanks man!
