Why would ICC losing money get terrorsts to stop? Cricket didn't matter in Afghanistan, why would it in pakistan?

 

Also i will ask the same question. You say people's lives are inportant. This governments covis mishandling, economy mishandling, fuel price rises is affected 100s of thousands if not lakhs of indian lives 

 

Where is the same outrage or care for people's lives then? Where does all the patriotism and concern for indian lives dissappear then?

Fuel prices, covid, economy, etc are being discussed in other threads. You are welcome to go and opine there. Boycotting sports against countries and banning them is part of history, it's nothing new. Because of apartheid, SA was banned for 20 years from cricket. Us boycotting Pak will throw the spotlight on Pak's enablement of cross border terror and put pressure on them to curtail terror enabling activities. This is my opinion and you are entitled to yours. I will not be following the match against Pak as I don't feel like watching it with all that's going on. Peace out, my last word on this topic.

Yeah and i have see the "patriots" opinion in those threads while lakhs of indian lives are being affected. The same patriots who want the series to be boycotted. 

 

So i was wondering if this is really about indian lives to them

You want to boycott the game then dont be a "sort-off patriot" lets go all out before claiming love for India. First as host we need to cancel the tournament, pakistan shouldnt play a single game. Next boycott nations like Aus, eng, SA which have players of  Pak origin. Finally withdraw from ICC, PCB has recently claimed they get money from India via ICC so no money to Pak cricket.

Exactly. I agree

[IndianRenegade]

Boycotting one ICC match is hardly going to make a difference.

 

If we are going to do something in response to terror attacks it should be more than just a symbolic gesture, which is what this will be. if possible defeat them and dedicate the victory to victims of terrorism in Kashmir, which will also be a symbolic gesture.

 

We shouldn't give them any bilateral or non ICC matches, thats clear. But apart from them this is low hanging fruits, if stopping cricket with them should change their support for terror it should have happened long ago. We should rather be focused on keeping the pressure on the government to act diplomatically to isolate Pakistan in the world on terrorism and show something for the billions in tax payer money they spend on Defense.

Great Idea. Let's also boycott all games in Olympics where we are competing against China. And also FYI just this year 4 Indian Fishermen were killed by Srilankan Navy. No outrage for that? Let's boycott srilanka as well. 

Also let's Boycott england, bloody bastards didn't approve Covaxin yet.

 

FFS don't mix politcs and Sports.

Fight the enemy on the border. Nothing will be gained by boycotting matches ..Pak will give 2 *s about it

agreed with your entire post till the last part.

 

Thats the dumbest cliche every one throws around without thinking over. That’s a pet peeve.

 

Sports and politics have always co existed since time immemorial be it it Olympic Games and not just modern Olympic Games where countries have boycotted but since Ancient Greece.

 

India-Pak have used cricket diplomacy pretty much every decade and used as tool to attempt bring the countries closer.

 

I can keep going.

 

Back in the days kings used to play sports like polo etc to show dominance or even test of skills of their soldiers, horses, elephants whatsoever .

 

That statement is only half true. While playing the actual game-sport yes you need to play it in the right spirit keeping politics and other biases asides but every thing surrounding it will always be in tune with politics. That’s a historical fact that can’t be changed.

Sports and Politcs have always been interlinked so this notion that they can and should be seperated is ridiculous. There is no need to boycott Pakistan in ICC tournaments.But there should be no bilateral series that is where it hurts them the most.

[goose]

what is the official reason for not playing Pakistan in bilateral cricket? i mean the official and precise reason given. genuine question.

 You don't have stand on border holding gun to be a patriot.Everyone has their own way to be a patriot.It may  not fit your definition but that does not mean that they cannot have their views.

Don't know about the official reason but the point is to hurt Pakistan financially by denying them access to Indian market. PCB themselves have reported 'loses' (rather missed opportunities to earn) worth hundred of millions of dollars cause of India not touring them. 

 

Will it stop Pakistan from indulging in anti-India activities? Probably not. But sane voices in Pakistan will realise that enmity with India comes at a big financial cost. How long can they cope with these loses is up to them.
