re: BUTT, ASIF AND AAMIR JAILED
I forgot to include the most indulged in corruption actvity - bribery. Under the table is (almost) a given for most activity in our motherland. Shall we start by putting behind bars anyone who has ever given a bribe or received one? would you say that is a serious offence?
Just tax evasion and bribery - should be enough to put 30% of middle and upper class behind bars, dont you think? Evading taxes in a country with 80% under the poverty line - especialy when one is a billionaire - surely that must rank higher in terms of severity.
I am taken aback at the thirst for unprecedented severity of punishment. This definitely is not the first time sportsmen have engaged in such activity.
Let us use the player’s best asset - their kknowledge of the game - to make them give back to their country by providing coaching, mentoring kids, use the fines to help under-priviliged etc. In most parts of Europe, jail is a last resort (dnt know about UK). It is too bad the rest of the world is catching up with my country of residence in terms of locking people away - good for the prison industry I guess.
Again, I cannot logically defend my position 100%. Little amount of compassion, folks.
