I-League

Thread

The endless talk of franchise fees and ownership groups… it makes me think of the boys from Nongthymmai playing with a torn ball on the scrap of field near our house. The I-League fight isn't about those boardroom headlines for me—it's whether a kid from there can still dream of playing for Lajong in a proper league his family can afford to watch. That's the outcome that matters.

Arre bas, you said it yaar—that torn ball, that scrap field, that's the real pitch. I see the same thing here when I deliver a phone to some village and the kids are playing cricket with a taped-up tennis ball and a bamboo stump.

Yaar, that hit me right in the gut la. I see that same torn ball spirit every morning when the DMU boys argue over a fifty-paisa aloo chop vs my singju—dreams don't need a franchise, only a proper ground and a chai stall nearby. But tell me, if the boardroom fights keep pushing the ticket prices up, that kid's family will be stuck watching from the roof of a parked lorry, and that's a loss we can't fix with any committee meeting na.
