Emotional Sporting

I was little disturbed about what happened in India, after we lost to Bangladesh. (I believe same is the case in Pakistan). One of my colleague, Said " Why are people doing like this. It is a shame that we need to protect the players after we lost. Playing is players job and people should not interfere in this matter. What if people started hitting our house if we are not programming properly, it is the same case ". Though I did not completely agree with him, it made me to think of this incident. What makes people even to kill a player? Whether the word "Sportive" exists in sports.

Treating players as God, at the same time abusing them when they don't play well. Is it a good way? Such incidents occur mostly in South America and South Asia. South America, they don't play anything other than football. In our case it is cricket. Since cricket being the only game played here popularly, does it make people wild when we lose it? By making many sports popular, will it dilute people's anger. On a side note, why government is not concentrating atheletics and other sports.

Does the frustation in Asian and Olympic games turned as hope in cricket? Since it became the only hope, that makes people angry. Can the players play well with such huge pressure up on them?

Back to my colleague comment, I don't agree that playing a player's job. When I went to Onsite, my manager advised me that you are not a individual there, you are representing our company. Mistakes you do, will be considered as the mistakes of the company. These players also represent India, players failure are considered as countries failure. They are answerable, but people do not have any right to attack their houses or burn their images.

What do you think??
