The World Cup fever everywhere! Match match Match!!!! Omg! Is it really worth the hype at all??? I see people Wearing blue as an initiative to support India in the match between India Pakistan...! It is afterall yet another money making sport tournament!!!! People can be interested in a sport but it is meant to be taken sportively! But how many of us do so??
It is ofcourse fun to watch cricket. I love to watch cricket too! but for the sport! I saw status messages in facebook abusing the Aussies in the Qtr final match that India won! Agreed it was indeed a victory to be celebrated, but people taking it so personally is completely ridiculous.... Some people say its passion for cricket and some patriotism!If passion, it is to be viewed for the beauty of the sport and not enjoy the shots and magic If it was patriotism, what about the forgotten Indian National Game Hockey? How much of recognition or how many people at all sit and watch that game? And corporates!, i see news papers reporting that Coca cola, Uninor, Vodafone and few other companies telecasting the match in the Big screen with snacks and beverages!For all the importance that people attach to cricket, Marketing managers, Politicians, ICC and the cricketers are making their Money!
Now above all, The all famous IPL follows the World Cup Fever!!!! God put some sense inside people's heads! (Irony is Sachin is God to most of them and hence only cricket is into their heads!) Bleed blue Guys! nothing wrong, but dont get over obsessed!
I call it not the Bleed Blue Campaign, but the Bleed Blue Syndrome! :)
