Gollum Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 (edited) Honestly I don't give a fukc about IPL but some serious concerns. After the airstrikes Pak will sink to any depth to hurt us esp via terrorism. So many high alerts across Indian cities and it is undeniable that they have enough sleeper cells and assets on our soil to carry out random terror attacks. Plus election season coming up, our security agencies/forces will have enough on their plates, no need to spread resources thin and there are more important things in life than cricket. Even from cricket perspective some random low intensity attack during IPL, even outside the stadium (remember Chinnaswamy blast 2010) will dent our image. Not to mention there will be many foreign stars and other high profile targets. Now I am sure our intelligence/police will make necessary arrangements but they can't stop 100% of attacks and besides why waste their services for cricket? BCCI has to do the right thing and shift IPL overseas like they did in 2009 and 2014. RSA, UAE, wherever they want I am sure arrangements can be made in short notice. Also hope IPL fanboys understand where I am coming from. During 2009 and 2014 editions there was relative peace but still with elections in mind it was decided to host IPL overseas. Why not now? IPL governing council must take the initiative and put national interest first. Edited February 27, 2019 by Gollum Link to comment
ShoonyaSifar Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 (edited) A loud no. Nothing better than going ahead with the planned schedule and organise a great tournament. Our security apparatus is strong enough to ward off such attacks. If you look at it, other than J&K, Pathankot and Chattisgarh, there have been no attacks anywhere except for small scale incidents in last few years. Also. between 2008-2012, when bomb blats were quite common across our cities, we shifted IPL in 2009 only because Chidambaram refused to give guarantees for providing security. During the first IPL in 2008, there were bombings in Jaipur still we went ahead with the tournament, no one pulled out. A month after the Mumbai attacks, we had Eng team comeback and play Tests. That is the perfect way to respond to the coward terrorists. Edited February 27, 2019 by ShoonyaSifar AuxiliA 1 Link to comment

Absolutely either cancel the IPL which may upset the high school girls on this forum or shift the IPL to SA. Indian lives first, then IPL. Even one incident or potential incident is worth it.

Terrorist doesn't give a f*ck if a cricket team is kicked out of WC or not. Their goal is to put fear into people's heart. Edited February 27, 2019 by Zero_Unit Link to comment
Khota Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 No. Absolutely not. This is the dumbest idea ever. Link to comment
R!TTER Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 (edited) What are you talking about, why does that sound dumb? First of all the pressure on our security forces is already too much, then it's the upcoming elections! Why should the leeches of IPL get free security while our police or para military will have to divert their attentions from possible terror attacks & then elections? IPL jae chulhe me, nation first IPL is pure entertainment that's all. Edited February 27, 2019 by R!TTER saik 1 Link to comment
Gollum Posted February 27, 2019 Author Share Posted February 27, 2019 (edited) If war breaks out screw IPL, screw WC, screw cricket. All energy should be directed elsewhere. I know IPL fans put their league above everything else in the world, but there is a time and place for everything. Edited February 27, 2019 by Gollum Link to comment

surajmal Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Yup. I have a feeling Namo is either going to get slapped around by Trump or we are about to have a proper war. Can't have such enticing targets for Jihadis. Remember, Bakis also have perhaps thousands of sleeper cells over India. Link to comment
