Sachin Tendulkar becomes the goodwill ambassador for Olympics

Sachin Tendulkar has been selected to become the good will ambassador for RIO Olympics. It seems the people have spoken loud and clear and the IOC had no choice but to do damage control and rope in Sachin Tendulkar to boost the morale of the athletes.

I saw the news this morning too, but Salman is still on as a goodwill ambassador. They are merely trying to sooth the angry janta by bringing on actual sportsmen to make people forget they also have Salman on-board. They say they want Salman to represent the Entertainment sector but like someone had suggested in another thread, they could have just chosen an actor who is actually into sports like Milind Soman.

Good move by IOA

This never happenes. It effectively dashes any hopes of Salman boosting anyone's morale. Now he is a rent a entertainment system who can nacho gawo for them at their disposal. Even Sachin basically took a dig at him and said in his statement that he is a true athlete.
