Cmon guys...this is not fair.What if the hockey team even won the OLYMIC GOLD??? You think they will be famous in India??? DAMN NO WAY! This country cannot prosper in any other sport other than CRICKET..that too very rarely.Talk about many great people in other sports...football,tennis,shooting,atheletics. People in India dont want to come out of their cricket dreams.Just think how much talent in all other sports will surface if they start paying other sport stars(like Baichung,Pillai and others) the way they pay cricketers!!! India is full of talent in all fields and all sports....we only need to tap it properly.In my opinion,we've wasted a lot on cricket...time to stand up for other sports also.And for Mr.SRK..I wish you could pay so much for a hockey team for which you have faked in Chak De!

It is not too long when people used to hold same opinions about tennis and golf too. But these sports got a turn around in last 3-4 years . Hockey could not take off due to obvious reasons. I feel you cannot single out cricket when you find tennis stars of India getting almost an iconic status be it a male or a female tennis player. Recently son of a gardener won a booty in golf too.
