CRICKET, OTHER SPORTS, etc ...


There is something very true which this Blog wants, not  to reveal, but to repeat. That most sports have their origins in Britain, at a time when none of the sports had   any sort of official organisation !

The organisation of a Sport belongs now, not to anyone in particular. It belongs to "International Federations" which respect the rights of its "International Members" ! 

These "Federations" can be, could be, domiciled anywhere, but they must respect the "Internationally Accepted Common Law" and "Company Law" principles of its adherents.  One member, one vote, etc. whenever any important decisions must be made, and at least two candidates at any election !!!

Accounts must be clear.  They must explain where income has come from and where expenses were disbursed .

Cricket is a sport which is well known and practised principally by "anglo-saxon" countries. This was also the case with Football .

Now Football is bigger than many of the countries in which it is practiced.  It is certainly bigger than "Switzerland" where FIFA now has its headquarters !!!  A lot of money is involved when Member Federations participate in "FIFA" Cups etc ! The financial accounts however, are not to very informative !

Should member "Federations" of FIFA not get together to provoke a less opaque and more open Organisation ? Similar observations also apply to "EUFA".
