Why? Liberal mindsets listen to all views.
I am not arguing i am telling why i think this happened. The Indian hockey federation complained and then the international hockey federation responded. I think response was heavy handed but everyone has
freedom to give their views. And if Indian players did same i’d hope the Pakistani team would complain and they would get banned.
The super rich don’t pay taxes in any subcontinental country and corruption is rampant in all our countries. The international committee did the ban and if it’s against the rules why would the players do it? If it was routine form of celebration then I guess there would be no issue. I don’t know much about hockey and i don’t really care about who wins. I am just telling you what the thought process is.
Players representing their country have to act better than the crowds. I know Indian crowds are boorish and if they were offensive the Pakistani players should also complain. It does the game no good when players of either or any side act in a way against rules. If Indian players do the same they should be treated equally. Personally i don’t think they should be banned but giving reasons why it happened.

Australian crowds can be really bad as well but that gives no right to Indian players to act in boorish way or for Harbajan Singh to call a player “monkey” because he was incited by crowds. Crowds are provocative and bait players but doesn’t mean they fall for it. It’s obvious actions on the ground by players will be highlighted with cameras more than a crowd of thousands. If there are any images of crowds making lewd images they should be punished as well. If there is evidence of any. If it was verbal the players can verbally respond.

How do you clean crowd behaviour? Have a camera monitoring each spectator with special voice technology picking up who says what in the crowd?

The crowd doesn’t represent my attitude. They represent their own attitudes. Why should I take responsibility for jahil Indian crowds or Australian crowds? On the other hand the players with the shirts of their country are hopefully better educated, trained in media and PR and officially represent their countries. There is some difference between players and crowds. If an Indian hockey team acts like this on Pakistani home ground i’d hope the same rules would be followed if the Pakistani team complained.

I was joking about the “don’t argue with me” part. I will read and respond later.

AND U BETTER AGREE WITH MY RESPONSE
