What the hell does GDP have to do with this article?? You're doing nothing but proving my point. The article's about cricket and it's acceptance in America; it could just as well been about soccer in America. Had it been about soccer you would have nodding along with every argument, but it just happens to be cricket; a sport you're just as ignorant about as you were about soccer not too long ago. So take that GDP argument somewhere else. Next time we're talking about sports, keep it to sports, I don't wanna hear all the shit and glory about your army and how much fucking money it has.
What does intelligence have to do with accepting cricket? You can be a fucking retard in Pakistan and love cricket, does that mean he is more intelligent than a scientist for MIT? It has everything to do with GDP as money is directly correlated to people who happen to be intelligent and know how to manipulate market structures. Bill Gates and Andrew Fastow are Americans but yeah, theyre complete idiots and have no idea how to follow cricket. Makes a lot of sense.
This is Andy and I have played football since I was four, you cockmonger. That is probably a younger age than you played the sport, so if we're following your inane logic I have a greater football sense than you just because I "accepted" the sport at an earlier age. I mean seriously, one could make as many arguments as they'd like, but stating Americans are too stupid for cricket is just more nonsense on the behalf of journals from other countries.
You may like that, it's completely fine. But don't think such opinions will go without a response and factual backing in terms of economic analysis.
PS - Cricket is shit.
