And offering the positive side of the idea.<br /><br />The KFC thing is a bit of a paradox. we had no say in that. but it is a minor point in comparision to the racisim. Thankyou for the feedback this will hopfully add to further things we and cricket victoria try and do in the future in commuities.<br /><br />Also to note. the positive outcomes of this story has been published on my count around 150 sites around the world. many in india. Which is great for a small thing that we were trying to achieve. And hopefully this can be built upon. By people in each country appreciating and respecting each other.<br /><br />tahnks again for all feedback. i hope it will inspire readers of your blog to think about ways in which they too can do small things for a greater good.<br /><br />Philip yew<br />Urbanseed credo cricket co-ordinatorAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00704579795889021577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4216862327208974261.post-2280578013312985852009-06-20T23:20:55.401+10:002009-06-20T23:20:55.401+10:00Hence the clarification in my comment.

If anything, it acts as an antidote to all the fear mongering and hate peddling being done by the media.<br /><br />I'm quite upset with how the media has handled this issue. This "us against the world" attitude inspired by (mainly) the Indian media is only encouraging more violence, more racial tension and segregation.<br /><br />Using sport as a means of bringing people together in a community is usually a good idea. I am shocked that you have labelled this gesture as sad and bizarre.<br /><br />And I like the street art.Luluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11182002312634129337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4216862327208974261.post-62854400218380037122009-06-20T20:41:48.620+10:002009-06-20T20:41:48.620+10:00I knew you didn't.
