Sad state of Sports in India!! Can we improve? How?

**Mahip**

*Bump*

Time to have some Sports discussion

I started this thread and still we see that apart from Cricket and the new 20:20 fever, nothing excites India. Bhupati-Paes forcibly come to play together just for the sake of India. Sania Mirza has not done much, I only remember her one good season when she did well in Wimbledon. Saina Nehwal and Chandok, Narain Karthikeyan have done well in recent past. But nothing has improved in Indian football. In hockey, we look to have something good by sacking Gill & Co. and doing well in the recent tournament.

What are your thoughts on this ...

The state of Indian sports is sad indeed. We may have the world's richest cricket board but other sports are really suffering. How can we forget that our Indian Hockey team couldn't qualify to the Olympics this year. Hockey is our national game yet the players are not treated at par with the cricketers. They really lack good coaching and funds. Its just not hockey, this trend is evident in almost every sport other than cricket.
