Indian hockey players, preparing for the World Cup, went on strike demanding that they be paid Rs. 450,000 to represent the country. They were offered a derisory and insulting Rs. 25000 by one Mr. Mattoo ( who is he? ) and told them to choose between money and playing for the country. This Mr. Mattoo ( where has he come from? ) closed the training camp and told the players to push off. Meanwhile the boxing team for the forthcoming Commonwealth Games were brought to their accommodations in Delhi to find no beds or food. Indian boxers are only a few of our athletes who win medals at Olympics despite the criminal treatment they receive. So where does all the money that we pay in taxes go? To give useless, parasitic, undeserving uncivil servants 80% pay rise and for criminal politicians to buy fancy aircrafts for themselves. Sports bodies in India are controlled by fellows from these two groups who use sports budgets to travel with their slimy families to various parts of the world while our athletes are treated as dirt. Criminal beggars have no sharam or izzat. Therefore they always win.
