I'm guessing those are areas with large Indian, Pakistani and Middle-Eastern populations.

I can’t take any sport seriously that has a sweater for a jersey ...

Imagine baseball, but played in a circle and instead of base running you run between two poles. Games can last for 24 hours or more and has strange terms like googly biffer and stodger.

Twenty years from now the top three sports in the US will be:

3. Cricket
2. Soccer
1. "Women's" Wrestling, i.e. tranny UFC

The ball is harder than a baseball and they don't wear gloves. They can't take baseball seriously.

I love cricket. Does being part Cherokee count as Indian?

And instead of soccer balls they’ll use the severed heads of infidels.

Those are our white-collar replacements; I see many playing cricket on baseball diamonds here in NJ. Eventually EVERY city will have those populations; they are deliberately trafficked here by our government in collaboration with companies.

This is no longer a tech issue; they are importing accountants and such as well.

I love cricket.

I watched a little bit of a cricket game once. It seemed like the only guy getting the exercise was the pitcher from all the running he had to do to throw the ball.

Do they have a bullpen and relief pitchers?

There’s a big Indian population in north Atlanta suburbs.

This is great but... 17,000 jobs? That is a big number. Skeptical.

I realize you’re the copy and paste guy who posted the article. My comment wasn’t meant for you to defend but more as a comment to that fact stated in the article.
