Sports , Patriotism and the countries

when we say Chak de India i dont think it is because we like the team but it is because we want them to win.... its not patriotic feeling its the feeling for love for our own people.....

however i like australian team.... i would always want india to beat australia 😳

I love the Indian team. Felt 😭 when India defeated. Other than Indian team I love other asian teams and West Indies and BIG NOOO TO AUTRALIAN TEAM becuase of their behaviour . I love to watch Indian win always. I keep them to my heart. 😊 😊

No, it doesn't make you a traitor. For me, sports aren't about countries, it's solely about the game. I sport whoever plays the best. Don't watch much of cricket anymore, but in tennis I wouldn't ever support Sania Mirza, simply because I think she sucks! I am actually sick of people worshipping indian sportsmen! These people get so much hype for nothing and the results are that in the end they show no improvement! For example, Sania Mirza got so hyped up but she barely ever made any improvement in her game but she got to cash on all her fame! I think we need to learn how to criticize the players for their game, so they can learn how to make it better w/o thinking that they're the gods of the game!

lols thats the whole basis of sports competition among regions, states, country. One can like another team or love the sport more, but supporting the team where on hail from, is naturally enforced assumption. Depends on person to person, for me if anyone belongs to India supports Australia... really doesn't matter, but personally for me its always gonna be chuk dey India.

haha myth!

i did say chuk de Ireland! and I also said Chuk de bangla Desh.. Why not?
i don't think i am a less india-lover for saying that. i refuse to support mediocrity for kinship.

I think that when a team is selected they (well idealistically at least) represent the best that that country or state has to offer. In that respect they represent that country and it's people. That is why when India crashed out of the World Cup the common Indian felt let down and lashed out at the cricketers. While there is nothing wrong in supporting other countries, is it really possible if there is an India-Australia match for an Indian to whole heartedly support Australia? Deep down somewhere won't we feel thrilled if our boys could beat them? Because ultimately that is what it boils down to - "us" vs "them". But it is ok to support other teams if our team is not playing though 😊 .
