Racism and favorism - Sports


Though most of the International Sporting Bodies claim themselves to be anti racism and someone who are promoting harmony but its hard to understand that how come the way their officials treat the Asian countries go unnoticed needless to say whenever they are a 'bit' aggressive and winning. A recent incident in Hockey world cup when a minor incident was served with a 3 match ban - needless to say a brown player was banned.
Its a pity that the so called 'responsible media' has nothing to say on this while the country federation does nothing to help the poor player. Coincidentally, its an Australian (a country of the culprits and LEAST RACIST) who has handed the ban...!!!
I have no issues if everyone is treated as same but the issue is they have one set of punishment for one group and another set for other. God knows, why the hell are they happy accepting all this bullshit in the face. I know it doesn't matter either ways but seeing such an attitude of all the parties involved, you ought to feel sad for the player and worried for the whole nation. I might be exaggerating but this is the reason how Indians are taken for granted everywhere - by the people, by the companies and what not.
