“Professional”
The word derives from the word “Profitional” meaning a person, usually a player (but in the case of football it’s the spectator rather than the player), who is exploited by governing bodies and TV media alike such that their best interests are subservient to the goal of maximising revenue for the governing bodies and TV media.

As we approach Remembrancetide and the heroic efforts to fight tyranny, its a shame that those running cricket are so utterly spineless and unwilling to stand up against tyranny.

Sadly, its seems the ICC members are far more interested in money than doing what is right and defending basic human rights. Lets be clear here, cricket as a sport is blatantly discriminatory (throwing money at the Afghanistan men whilst ignoring their women) and far too many people within cricket are refusing to stand up and speak up (and that includes those people in authority within cricket in the UK).
Let’s not forget it was the UK that stood up to Nazi Germany – its a shame, well more like a disgrace, that the ECB are not willing to trumpet the defence of basic human rights within cricket.
