Today was a cricket match between India and Pakistan in connection to Asia cricket cup. Pakistan won this game in last over. The player who finished the game was a well known cricketer Shahid Afridi. As soon as game finished tweets and Facebook statuses started to pour in, mostly worshiping their hero Afridi but I was amazed on the fact that a couple of days back those were the same guys who were abusing him for not performing well, yes they were literally abusing. What I want to say is we should not be so much obsessed with sports as we take it to the point of life and death. Secondly, this attitude is another reason for us to be a third world country, we never learnt to properly analyze the failure and even success for that matter. You should make heros of people who are really worthy and if you make an athelete a hero, digest the fact that one day if he perofrms well, the other day he won't.
