Sports is a great potential way of uniting not just countries but of ending suffering and celebrating when the nation does well. The energy, the passion, the love, the adulation... its all the same across the border. I for one feel disheartened when I see the state of affairs in Pakistan. There is so much promise but the politics that is played over one of the most popular sport in South East Asia is disappointing.
Sometimes, the PCB surprises even itself by mooting something actually worthwhile, only to be shot down by the Sports Minister, and the players and the fans suffer thanks to this "sarkari" approach. Its a truly ridiculous situation across the border. Why don't you guys come together, start a movement, a forum, an online group, write a letter to the President of Pakistan and appeal for end of all this rubbish?
