Hardik Pandya shows his support to the Black Lives Matter Movement

I don’t care what one’s political affiliation is or what team they support, but it is ridiculous for an Indian player who represents India,to come out in the random time of the year on twitter with a picture of his with this caption. What kind of freaking attention does he want? 
There is a lot of drama around this dhongi Pandua. He is trying to either get attention from his West Indian team

mate Pollard or becoming one of those Bollywood types who want to like everything what is trending. And its crazy that he does this when BLM has sort of settled down when the reale evnts were happening over a month ago. 

 

Absolutely ridiculous honestly. Politics has no place in cricket. All lives have always mattered in cricket and that includes BLM.

Buffoonery of the highest order! The idiot probably glanced at a newspaper and thought, well this is my chance! He is just a plain wannabe, nothing more.

Or maybe Pollard explained him what blm is and he really believes in it. Maybe he wanted to show solidarity towards his team mate. Crazy right

He could be a wannabe. He could be a buffoon. But he is exercising his right to voice his opinion. He doesn't care if he comes across as a buffoon. Why should we?

 

Also, how is this any different from, say, Kangana tweeting about the gruesome beheading of the teacher in France?

That series of tweets was met with general approval. Definitely on this website.

 

Should we appreciate activism only if it espouses a cause we are in solidarity with?

Hardik Pandya gets a lot of grief in general.

 

Ever since that Karan Johar talk, he's been vilified as some sort of a menace. 

Yes he said stupid stuff and basically made it clear that he is a fool. But the real tragedy is that the BCCI banned him for a few games. 

Get your head around that. They banned a cricketer from playing cricket for what he said (foolishly, no doubt) half in jest to a series of pointed questions asked to him in a scripted TV show.

He was called on the show simply because *he is a successful cricketer*. He spoke stuff that mainly made no sense and was very cringe. I can get it if a brand doesn't want to be associated with that kind of a projected image. But BCCI throwing him under the bus invoking some vague article from their charter of conduct in face of severe social media pressure is completely uncalled for. The widespread approval this type of knee jerk punitive action gets in our society at large is the real intolerance of our times. 

So much for the BCCI being an all powerful body.
