Over a period of time, i have lost all interest in watching any sport on the TV. I mean am a guy, n guys are supposed to love sports, aren't we? So why is that i cant find any adrenaline rush whatsoever in them? i know some of my friends who are crazy about F1, some about Football, n Most about Cricket.. few about tennis too.. let me tackle each of them one by one.. starting with the most ridiculous of them all.. the F1.
I mean what is it about that game people! there are cars going about n circle for ages! some of them crash( which is awsome i must admit :) ) , but on the whole its pretty much the zoo zoo zooooo zoooo sound most of the times! it gets so irritating after a point of time with the constant humm of those cars.. i seriously cant think of any reason why anybody puts through so much of pain.. well if you are the driver, i can completely understand the rush, but whats the point of sitting at home like a pom pom holding cheerleader!
Next comes football.. ok i admit its really good to watch somebody scores an acrobatic goal or shows some real good skills with the ball, n as i game i can watch it.. its sensible becasue its a short game, gives u some rush n so its paisa vasool.. but what i dont understand here in india is the club loyalty.. people literally lash out at each other in favour of their respective clubs! where do you find so much passion for an unknown country( most of the times only city clubs!) n what reasons are those loyalty based on that people get so emotional about it?? never really understood all the fuss about supporting one team n "hating" the other. as a game, i quite like watching it, but if you say you "follow" football, dude,i dont know why.
ah, that brings me to Cricket, India's unofficial national game.
i once quite used to enjoy watching cricket, it used to be a nice family affair, where my parents used to allow me to watch the first 10 n the last 10 overs.. so it was almost like 20 20 for me back when one days were still played( can you remeber the last one day match that TEAM india played?? against whom was it? i guess it was in the stone age) anyways, coming to the point here, cricket is a very nice game and all, n i understand the feeling of national pride when india plays, n i do feel happy when we win, or sad when our neighboring country wins ( am not sad if India looses, its a game common!) , but then somehow i could never understand the concept of IPL. is it supposed to be like the ranji trophy of 20 20 international? what are those foreigners doing here then? and dont get me started on team loyalty please..if you are watching the match, watch it for the quality of cricket. but then if you take out the competetive edge in sports( both for the viewers and the players) it pretty much takes away all the excitement from the game.
And that my dear friends is the exact problem i have with sports! i cant seem to decide whom am supporting and for what reasons?! may be some day i will find that reason which might make me "follow" a certain sport. Till then, thats the way it is :) ( cliche :P)
