Re: Who is Tendulkar? I don’t know, Sharapova
OK....i was taking it a funny way but paid a bit more attention to these news and decided to do some search and from what i found out, really disappointed with india fans...as always!
if you go to maria's FB page, you will see that there are close to 40,000 comments posted in last 24 hours on her latest status update that she made on July 2nd on a topic not even relevant to tendulkar..forget what is goingg on at twitter!
i didnt get a chance to check all 40,000 but i did check several thousands and all of them were by indians on tendulakr topic.....as reported by some sources, almost all 40K belonged to tendulkar topic posted by indians.........a lot of abusive language as well...russian *****, stupid, go to hell blah blah
guys, 40,000 comments...and that too in 24 hours....... damn!
and we are still counting... mind you these are not uneducated rural Indians. they are all from urban base...
40k comments in relation to something which is really trivial...shows how insecure indians are!
Now i know this is a strong statement and one can say that 40K do not represent 1.2B+ indians....but this is precisely what my experience has been with indians in USA in person and on many forums and i have pointed this many times....no matter what the topic is, you cannot debate with them rationally.
They get defensive and hot headed right away. It is good to have a nationalistic attitude but their is a difference between being positively nationalistic and being totally insecure. Unfortunately indians are way too insecure right now. You cannot point any weakness to them....politically, culturally, financially....
maria is truly a global icon with 13M facebook fans from all 100+ countries...those fans will be looking at indians' comments and must be thinking what the hell...how insecure these folks are
what poor tendulkar earned in 24 years, indian fans destroyed in 24 hours!
my bad.....
Sachin "proud fans" have posted way more than 40K comments,...they are already in excess of 150K by now!!! yes more than 150K comments.......and we are still counting
40K comments were posted on maria's latest status update alone...what i did not realize until i read in an article that the intensity of the profanity-laced rants by the so-called fans has not spared a single photo on her facebook page....
i went back to check and found out that maria's older posts (as old as March) have also been flooded by indian posters teaching maria a lesson about who is scahin...i did not check beyond march! so yes more than 150K comments on her FB page related to sachin already...
am i missing something here...yes understood that 150K comments is not equal to 150K posters but we are still talking about thousands of posters who posted so many comments....
do you think fans from any other country would have reacted the similar way had they felt that their hero has been insulted? or is it purely an Indian phenomenon and exhibition of some serious insecurity?
