Its kind of interesting to see how things turned out in cwg case.. When the whole media is against CWG organization, It is ARR who came to their rescue, it is He who specially addressed the press meet supporting the CWG committe saying that they have been working hard..lot of hard work is going into it and be positive and be supportive to them. And now the CWG and the media itself is going against ARR accusing him of not giving a shakira material, about the money and went to such an extent questiioning ARR's commitment. Not showing gratitude is one thing but going after ARR calling him names is totally uncalled for.. How are they comparing soccer to these games? Flavor of soccer is completely different from swimming badminton. They will expect ARR to compose like a Shakira even for a World Chess championship.
