Shahid Afridi - sadly the only hope for Pakistan

[Captain1]

@fkhan2

Wow what melodrama!!! Captan jee and DC jee, don’t you think you guys are over reacting!!

We are from a society where nothing is perfect and it applies to every department in our society including sports. So let us not fool ourselves by expecting everyone to be ethically perfect and reject others since they are not morally and ethically acceptable. We will always have peope who will commit mistakes.

I don’t want to get too much involve in this dicussion. All I’lll say is that when we can forgive corrupt politicans again and again with a condition that they will serve us sincerely then why can’t be forgive someone like Shahid Afridi???

In my view there is a double standard when people who never admit their crimes/mistakes and never are punished still get our forgiveness again and again but someone who after making a mistake, openly admits it and apologizes to the nation is labeled a criminal.

Society is what WE make it to be, we know its not perfect and it will NOT get better if we don’t strive for it. Since I don’t support/forgive politicians and am all for their accountability I also want people representing Pakistan to be accountable at all levels be it politician, mediamen, artists or sportsmen. If we by-pass justice for someone our ‘favorite’ then we lose any right for criticism of lawlessness/nepostism in the society.

What Afridi did was NOT a mistake, it was a crime and he did it KNOWINGLY. He can stay in the team as player but should NOT be given captaincy, just like Wasim Akram was let in the team after his proven corruption but was barred from captaincy.
