The Real Cost of Narrative Policing
Cricket suffers when discourse abandons evidence. Bowlers hesitate. Teams bench players pre-emptively to avoid controversy. Fans absorb hostility instead of understanding. And governance bodies lose credibility when silence replaces clarity.

Anything else is selective enforcement by omission.
