Pakistan had a thriving sports atmosphere back in 70s from what I know, even in 80’s it was pretty good, while the facilities were always in short supply and the infratsructure and organization at league level was bad, we were producing good players in different areas, tennis, boxing, table tennis, track, not world class perhaps but much better than now.
and its more than just watching major sports, participation in sports was much higher, i compare my cousins in pakistan today to the cousins before and it seems like there is no single serious athelete in the family, i mean serious even at club or college level, it just seems not to be a priority or important.
not sure what happened and when, whether it is just the same as we see with the time on internet younger gen simply not into sports as much or whether the law and order situation over the years has made it less desirable and once u are not into it, its harder to get into it as u get older
could not agree with you more.
