Please stop reading this blog. No, seriously. It doesn’t offer magic fixes, and it will not bring about a change in the country you and I live in. Nor will it stop the hockey players from sucking on the field. Its really sad, we regard Hockey as our national game but lose disgracefully in tournaments. We just can't blame the players for the blemish, the Indian Hockey Federation is equally responsible for the comedown of the game. We all know how well they treat our players. Child 1 from Punjab : When I win the Hockey world cup for India I will take off the t-shirt just like Ganguly did!!
Child 2 : You think they will give you t-shirts?
First we win the cricket world cup, suck against England, then do Sri Lanka at their home, all we can interpret is that the game-setters are doing well. Indians can never be consistent at sports unless the walkover-bridge to the stadium collapses (Courtesy: Suresh Kalmadi). Maybe that’s how we succeeded in securing a hundred and one medals at the disgraceful Commonwealth Games. Or we should just thank the queen for not ruling China.
Olympics is the most loved game by India if you don't give a fuck about the Cricket World Cup, the English Premier League, FIFA World Cup, F1, IPL, Ranji Trophy, Deodhar Trophy, Shivaji Park Bat Ball, Dharavi Chawl Gully Cricket, Dhyan Vidyapeeth Khel Utsav.
It is not that we cannot win. No seriously, its just that Olympic federation is just too bias towards the west. The Olympic games host only those events in which the west is good at. If they introduce games like ‘Alighting from a Virar Fast at Andheri’, ‘Crossing Suman Nagar junction in 100 seconds’, ‘Driving with no street lights’, ‘Stuffing 13 people including three fat aunties into an Innova’, ‘Using a public toilet’ (Jeremy Clarkson, would you participate? ), 'Dahi-Handi' (Seriously, should be considered ) possibly then India and Bangladesh would get a few gold medals too. Whereas for Pakistan, those who could run and jump have already crossed the border.
Well, there have been performers who have bought us glory in the past. Abhinav Bindra is the only Punjabi who learned to shoot in a shooting-range. This year, Saina Nehwal shuttled the cocks well and got the bronze. Vikram Singh chose to shy away from the limelight and get the silver. Mary Kom is the first women wrestler to get a bronze in the Olympics and still clarifying that she is not Chinese. Virender Singh, bronze holder in Beijing Olympics was punched out in the quarter finals itself.
Indian media is mainly responsible for the down-fall of the players. Their wins, which are a few are over-hyped by the media. Thus bringing them under pressure when they enter the field next. Wins should be appreciated not announced. Interestingly, medals won by India in the history of Olympics are equal to the medals secured by Michael Phelps alone!
Hosting an Olympic event is an honor to a state and if Olympics was hosted in India.....(the rest was deleted as it was too traitorous)
