feel like I need to comment here to clarify a few things. The GrayFox boys were not with me when they lost and the Pakistani stack they lost to is comprised of actual talents, not overly hyped ones. I am helping them but I will not be biased in any of my views regarding anyone, like always.
Also, I agree that most of you view them as washed. But, I think everyone, even those you consider washed, deserve chances, if not your respect, if they are putting in hours way beyond what is considered a minimum requirement. Only a handful make it to franchise. That doesn't invalidate the other players and their passion for the game.
They might be going from org to org but if you ever sit down with them for a week, you will realize they harbour the same passion as anyone, even the ones you think are good or great.
The best a player or any aspiring member of the community can do is to put in hours efficiently. Also, as washed up as any player in our region is, if they can still improve, want to improve and are taking steps in order to make sure they improve, I think they deserve a chance.
Washed up or not, you do things the right way for the right motivation, you deserve a chance.
As for the GE conundrum, I believe GE should be free of any limitations and be allowed to take any decisions. When we talk about Indian representation, why is it always limited to the players? Aren't staff, members of management and others deserving of falling under the same criteria?
Whether GE have an Indian player or not, they are still an Indian organization and will continue to be so, unless things change someday. They have a choice to make between success and uplifting the Indian community, according to us. However, bringing in success will also aid the community's development. You have a choice as well. You can choose to support an Indian org because they represent India or choose not to simply because they don't have enough Indian players. Everyone has a choice.
