Hello All,
To start with I want to tell that I am all for Games and sports - have performed in all sorts of games in high school and college level. I am still good at all games.. just not master.
But what I think- these Olympic or other competition makes you alienated from your opposition. When the game is going on..in general you feel angry or alienated towards other team or country... you have so many emotions going on...good and bad towards and against your country and of course the opposition.
What I felt watching Olympic games - USA Vs other... so many emotions while watching basketball or volleyball or any other game.
I am not saying that there is conspiracy behind it to let us feel this way deliberately but these games in general do take us apart from the fact that we all are same... equal and this is all just a temp thing which will soon be gone.
It makes us feel that we belong to select few in that game...which won it and makes it special and all.
I know and feel that for athletes its great feeling not only to represent their countries but to win any medal....
but I'd really like to see.. people just participating and without the feeling of not getting anything or their country left behind.
Any ideas ??
thanks for reading
