Re: Karachi Team
Hm…The initial post (which i agree with) is very conflicting with the rest of the hilarious posts so I’m trying to figure out whether the whole outcry is for..
A) ARY - showing off extra for their purchased team in the entertainment shows etc.???
B) ARY - covering Karachi Kings and favoring them and ridiculing other teams like Lahore???
C) Karachi fan base on twitter - Cuz they are annoying and you dont like them???
If its A, then first of all its not the right forum for this and therefore the topic is misleading. Second you must understand this, when ARY bought a certain team it tried to use its most successful products i.e. the entertainment shows to advertise their new brand and thus bringing their original fan base towards it. Its simply their business model they are following. Now we can argue whole day long how bad their business model is, which is annoying others but now its a whole seperate debate. But thats how most of the Pakistani media works, like it or not.
If the problem is B, then its just far more ridiculous. You need to understand this: They own Karachi team while their arch rivals GEO sponsors Lahore team. So its just a war between two media houses. Thats all. Its not about cities its about rivalry and the cities could be other way around too. And again they are using their successful products i.e. shows to propagate this war. Have we forgot what they did with Geo during that blasphemy case they built against Shaista Wahidi?? Why noone opened a thread against them then? Just becuz Geo was a ‘bad’ guy at that time and later your favourite politician announced bycott of Geo?
And if the problem is C, oh comeon, if they are on your twitter feed then it must be some reason. They could be a part of your political idol fanbase, who knows
And if its neither A, nor B or C then it must be some beef you have with Karachi or its people thats why you cant “stand” it and I know it takes a brutally honest person to admit it
In the end, Its just a simple cricket league. Comeon folks take a chill pill. You dont like a media coverage, switch the channel. You dont like the followers of one team, block them on your feed.
Other than your lame and pathetic taunts about IK/PTI - do you have any idea what you are even talking about? Completely missed the point how ARY is setting up bad trends at the expense of ruining sports, and fanning regional/racial divides. Yes Geo and all other media houses jumped on this bandwagon after ARY’s over the top coverage.
What you harbour is typical desi mentality ‘jaisa chalta he chalne dou - either shut up or put up with crap’.
