Well..you don't go and attack a soldier's home when he returns defeated from war... do you?? You don't burn effigies of soldiers who are defeated either....but you do attack Dhoni's house when he performs poorly.... and you burn effigies of Tendulkar when he gets out cheaply....If you think Cricket is just a game then why do we do all these?? Why do we abuse our team and Chappell when he come back empty handed from World Cup Cricket...why do we talk about taking away their endrosements when India loose matches...well...if we do all that then we might as well celebrate their WIN don't you think???
About other sports....How many of you have gone to watch a Hockey match till date?? Isn't it a national sport?? Who has made cricket so big?? why do you bet your money in cricket?? How does BCCI become the richest board in the world..not thru Sharad's pawar's pocket...right??
