The Demise of Football and Hockey?

What does this picture signify? What does it mean to you?



To me it symbolises the death of other sport like Hockey and Football. This blog / site of mine got featured in Economic Times the other day.

I managed to get a lot of traffic over the course of this tournament and managed to make a decent amount of money too. But...

But I didn't start off this blog to promote the World Cup. Those of you who have followed this blog for the entire tournament might re-call the first post in which I have actually thrashed the game of Cricket. It was more of a taunt to the Indian cricket team.

But seriously now! Our football team won an international tournament sometime back - The Nehru Cup. Our hockey team won the Asia Cup - a feat our cricket team has not been able to achieve for over a decade. One didn't of course witness mass euphoria and hysteria after these triumphs. The State Governments didn't announce any cash rewards for these sporting ambassadors.

But a game in which we were thrashed a humiliated a couple of months ago. A World Cup which was over for India before the actual tournament even started...
A World Cup which shattered many a heart. A World Cup which resulted in many a burnt poster...
All was forgotten! All was forgiven! Cos' cricket is our religion and now Dhoni seems to be our God!

Where does this leave other sport? Hockey? Many can't even name a single hockey player of this decade except for Dhanraj Pillay! The same holds true for Football and Bhaichung Bhutia. Why aren't these games also supported? Why doesn't the youth from metros as well as small cities aspire to be the next Ronaldinho or Thierry Henry?

Vishwanathan Ananad is yet again to be crowned as the World Champion! But do you see millions of children in this country aspiring to become the next him? Do you see the next Tennis Grand Slam champions being born out of this country?

With a country of such massive population - something is definitely wrong! Is it jus Cricket which is holding our nation together? Do Hindus and Muslims of our country need to be instigated by a comment from Shoaib Malik to really express their Unity in Diversity?

Why can't the Government pledge better performance in each and ever field of sport? Why stick to a game which is played by just half a dozen countries? Are we scared?

Why did the Maharashtra Govt. have to announce Rs 10 Lakhs in cash award for Ajit Agarkar and Rohit Sharma? Are they trying to impress the cricket fan? Buy the cricket fans vote? Rs 20 Lakhs of tax-payers money being given to guys who've already been given a crore each!

Would love to hear all your views and opinions. Feel free to leave a comment.

Vijay Rath - Homecoming of the Champions INDIA

Unbelievable scenes in Mumbai currently.

The victorious Indian Cricket Team landed at 8:30 in Mumbai and they are still on their way to Wankhede Stadium where they are going to be felicitated.

The 30 Km journey from the Airport to the stadium has taken 5 hours+ already. The entire team is aboard an Open-Aired Double Decker BEST Bus. Dancing and screaming away!



We'll have more pictures and videos up soon! In the mean while switch on any Indian News Channel!

Cheer the CHAMPIONS! Cheers to India!
