Why does'nt other sports in India get any attention?
in Q n A - Find answers to your questions
Just a plain question. I am not asking, as to why Cricket get its undeserved attention, all I want to ask is, why does'nt any other sport get its due attention.

Why are we so different in this aspect, from the rest of the world.

    Other sports should also get sponsorship for growing and competing with cricket, golf, tennis etc...

    Players of any sport need their security for survival. In India Olympians are found living in stark poverty.

    We need to make arrangements for their bread and butter for running their lives and that of their families.

    I don't think anything of that sort is done for any cricketer.

    Don't you think every sport should get equal grants, and their should be more infrastructure built to promote sports other than Cricket.

    Peoples' partcipation and popularity play a very vital role. Indian people have popularized cricket. In fact, cricket is not sponsored by Govt but by the peple. The govt. sposor all games but there is much to be done to enable us to perform at international level. Our position in Olympics and other forus is not good. The triabl areas particularly are best to select god sportsmen.

    Pavan Daryani,

    Do you think the money earned by cricaters by sponsorship and modelling is not for the players to use it for running their lives and survive?

    Correct they are getting enough to run their lives, from these endorsements / sponsorships.

    But when you said [quote]We need to make arrangements for their bread and butter[/quote] that gave me the impression, that we as the people (or maybe the govt. which represents us) should do something about that.

    Well, for me all we have to do (to give all sportsperson their living) is make them popular, by watching more sports, by appreciating their performances, by recognizing their talent, by giving them platforms to compete healthily.
