Today's hot news came when bhajji slapped shreeshant in the ground after losing a match. It is really a big news in the country where cricket is religion and cricketers are icons. In our country, cricket is not just a sport but a passion and most of all follows the sport as well cricketers.
Recently in IPL cricketers got huge amount of money because cricket and cricketers are followed by Indians with great zeal and passion. We follow them blindly. We watch the channel in which they come. We read the news which talks about them. We use the brands which they endorse. Many of us follow them as our icon. But if those so called "ICON" will behave like this, it will give wrong message to our youth.
So is it right time to accept that these cricketers are not the icons but only a normal people. I believe "YES". The time is now. They also behave like a normal person. They celebrate when they win. They become sad when they loose. They not only become sad but also loose their temper at times. They are just a human beings nothing more than that. So, what is different in them to follow?
I believe that when it comes to select our "Icon" we should follow the persons who have something to follow. Who worked really hard in each field of life and whatever the situations are they never lost their control. They kept their head cool and respond accordingly. They never react to the situation but respond. Who are those person is up to you to find.
The conclusion I want to make here is we must enjoy cricket, we can read their news and follows their scores, records etc. But we should not treat them as God. We should have respect not only for the cricket but for all the sports. But we must not treat cricket as a religion for sure!!
