Our young lands won the Banglabandhu Gold Cup in Bangladesh and they have been promised Rs seven lakhs each. I don’t know if they have received the money yet. Here in this land of ours hooligans, who destroy public property and harass common citizens during bandas, get a million rupees each if they somehow lose their lives, but our athletes who make us all proud by winning tournaments abroad get less. Ganesh Thapa made karods of rupees and is said to own hundreds of ropanis of land in the valley. But our football players don’t even have enough to buy a new pair of football boots. Corruption is everywhere. Maybe, instead of only blaming our politicians, we should blame ourselves, for letting the corrupt walk all over us again and again.
Ganesh Thapa will live the rest of his life in luxury, while our football players will live in poverty after they hang up their boots. Officials who head our sports organisations in the country make millions while athletes have to sometimes even pay chiya kharcha to be on the team.
