Comments on: Touchdown, Hyderabad Skykings! http://sepiamutiny.com/blog/2011/08/03/touchdown_hyder/ All that flavorful brownness in one savory packet Sat, 30 Nov 2013 11:11:28 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: V Lakshminarayanan http://sepiamutiny.com/blog/2011/08/03/touchdown_hyder/comment-page-1/#comment-286061 V Lakshminarayanan Wed, 17 Aug 2011 03:36:39 +0000 http://sepiamutiny.com?p=6617#comment-286061 <p>I am sorry to see such dark and insenstive humor. There is no such thing as race since human sexual attraction and reproduction has no ethnic boundaries.

For all we know, she may have genes of Alexander. Who knows?</p> <p>It is sad to see Indians self deprecating their own kind. I heard someone say that Indians are like crabs sitting in a bucket waiting to go into the chef's kettle. If one tries to escape and get out of the bucket, others pull it back. Isn't that what Sepia Mutiny people are doing? Qureshis in India claim lineage going back to Prophet Mohammed. Will Sepia Mutiny make a make a similar write up on Qureshis? You have created a culture of intolerance in the name of tolerance. Sorry to see this.</p> I am sorry to see such dark and insenstive humor.

Nikki Haley’s parents are Sikhs, so it is logical to conclude that her lineage comes from northwestern Indian subcontinent. For all we know, she may have genes of Alexander. Who knows?

Dude you sound like some sports elitist. Let me guess you also love to sit in pubs singing socce...err i mean "football" chants while downing some Strongbow. We get it, you are into "real sports". Comparison between rugby and NFL are plenty just like baseball vs. cricket, etc. Most of the comments are made by simpletons like yourself on various message boards without any knowledge of both of the sports. Try throwing a ball like a quaterback, try getting hit by 250 lbs pound dudes with pads, I bet it hurts more than person to person contact. American football is not a p*ssy sport, get over it. You think pads protect them? infact a person with pads is more likely to hit harder than without. And the pads are not made of goosefeathers and marshmellows!</p> this guy rudie_c has like 2 posts dedicated to his hate to NFL. Dude you sound like some sports elitist.

I agree that the EFLI has “fail” written all over it. A football league in Mexico would have a better chance.

So apparently the argument is that since Chess is so popular in India, a game which is similar to Chess, Football, will be appealing too.
