Do you think regional teams of IPL is good for India, which already suffers a lot from regionalism?

Although players from different regions are mixed up in the same time, the supporters are becoming blind after their respective city and/or regions - isn't it so? If yeas, then is it welcome?

Update:

Would not it have been better to name the teams after something else that would not trigger off regionalism? Like rivers, or so?

    Reasonable question, but then since the team has individuals from different regions already, people should learn to appreciate the opponent teams. If Uthappa can play for Mumbai against Bangalore, Agarkar play for Kolkata against Mumbai. People should learn to see beyond these. The so called problems and issues of regionalism I feel are moves taken by certain people to get publicity for themselves at the cost of the commoners' lives. So enjoy the game while it takes place and appreciate it: be it your own team or the opponent :)

    there's no region involved. everyteam is having players from other region/countries. for our convenience instead of giving some name to the teams we have given name based on 8 great cities in India.

    It is certainly better for both the spectators and players. There are no boundry walls anymore. It is not really regional.
