In India, media promotes Cricket as commercial interests, sponsorships are linked to that and PR firms pay media for their promotion. Other sports are rather used as target practise by paid media and opposition parties to attack government. When Commonwealth Games were organised in 2010, Indian media non stop propagated lies that stadiums and infrastructure is not ready and we should cancel the games. Can anyone tell me that which stadium was not ready or where were facilities or infrastructure subpar? nowhere-just because they want to attack the government, they will bloat lies.
Now some corporate interests are benefited with ISL-so media will promote ISL Beckham is playing Messi, Thierre Henry, Crespo, Ljungberg, Yorke. When are these guys playing? Again Lies. Indian media coverage on Sports is just some vested interests throwing money and media publishing false news.
Have to agree with you... the media is hardly a dependent one any more...
always the find some news related to cricket even when nothing is happening in the sport around... but miss these special moments in other sports.... with this approach from the media and sports channels in india, we can never be a country with success in multiple sports at international level in consistent duration
@Cybertron NBA players are mainly American as the majority come from American colleges. Recently we have started to see some Europeans and Chinese players enter the fray with Euroleague and such providing players but college in America is still the main provider to this day.
It was close game, we played excellent basketball, especially in the 4th quarter. Had we performed better in the 2nd quarter, we could have even won this game. Anyways, well played lads, we played.
As India came 4th in the Group stage out of 5th Team, India had to face Phillipines which was top in the other Group. Good Fight shown by India Team but we lost to Japan and Iran also in this tournament. It looks like in the Finals, there will be China vs Iran.
