shrehari dnt write like this, in the place of modi ,mr kimarsawmy didt the good job & he give every player 2 lakshs cash. when yusuf pathan &iirfan pathan never get any prize money from his state after 2 days left.in every media they remind this matter for 2 days. even irfan pathan get the man of the match cup in final. iam resding in dubai. because his cost modi dnt like 2 announce any prize money for them.in the same place the same players in another cast,he will give more than any states prize money & he give them a big recption when they arrive their home city, so kumarsawmy is a gentle man. in sports no cost r no state only we are all indians. we must to think like that.so pls you also think about above(modi)

For the sake of other sports these players should refuse so that this gets enough publicity and othersports man/womans achievements in future wouldnt go unnoticed
hockey is a sports which is dying a slow death globally as too few support the game except in india pakistan malaysia where it is only third popular sport .so let us support football and volleyball instead of dying game which no country in the world is bothered

This only shows your narrow mindedness.... come out of it... For Your kind information, Hockey is auguably THE FASTEST sport of the World...
Naturally it requires more guts and stamina, nearly 10 times than that of Cricket...

Sandeep, This only shows your LACK OF KNOWLEDGE. Hockey is played in almost 70-80 countries in the world - it is quite popular in Australia, Asia (not only south asia!), Europe and South America continents. It is there in olympics, Asian games etc.
Compare it to circket which is played by 5 serious countries ! Get out of your hole and the euphoria out of the T20 win. It takes a lot to win in hockey than in cricket.
Please learn to respect true hardworking achivers.

iam not talking about cricket did i mention anything related to cricket. iam talking about hockey popularity in germany. i think its night time go sleep kid u just cant read a message properly .
While one cabinet minister files an affidavit that there was no RAM existing, the party president intervened (read as an eyewash) and directed the cab. minister to w/draw the clause. Cabinet minister regrets the error caused and suspended officals.
Now, when the hockey team protests against the step-motherly treatment meted out to them, CM thanks the hockey stars for having brought it to his notice.
ITHNA DIN KYA CABINET MINISTER KUMBHAKARNA KI TARAH "SO" RAHA THA KYA? ITHNA DIN KYA CHIEF MINISTER BHI KUMBHAKARNA KI TARAH "SO" RAHA THA KYA?
Carvalho motivated the hockey team to win the Asia cup... & now he has shown that he backs the team off the field too... given monetary benefits,the Indian hockey team will rule world hockey
Its a sad state of affairs. Where as hockey requires skills and is demanding on physical fitness, cricket is just a game of chance. Hockey is played by around 100 countries. Where as cricket is only popular in indian subcontinent. Basketball is no. one in West indies. Football in Aus and England. Rugby in NZ. Only we fools give undue importance to this stupid game.

There are several reasons why India is not so good at sports, and one of the key reasons is that there isn't enough money in it. Therefore what the couple of messages below are suggesting in terms of not giving the hockey players money is very very wrong. These players need to be encouraged with a lot of money - that is one of the key factors that will influence more sportspersons to take up hockey and such sports. Else, like it happens today, most good potential sports players will give up and push instead for studies and a career rather than taking up sports as a career. That is one of the key areas where India loses out in sport. So, do not grudge them the money they get because in the ultimate analysis it leads to more glory for the nation.
I hale the step taken by National Chief Coach Joaquim Carvalho, but would like to emphasise that instead of threatning the Chief Minister he should have threatened the Sports Minister or Prime minister for their intervention in the matter for whole team players.
RE:Step motherly treatment
by Rajeev Iyer on Sep 27, 2007 12:07 AM
Hey maybe he is just starting with the CMs and after that he will take it up with the PM!!!
This man needs to be admired. He has moved a politician to undo a wrong and has done his players some good. Great work Carvalho. Also pretty gracious of Shri Kumaraswamy to admit an oversight and make amends with this award. Not many politicians will do that so his gesture needs to be appreciated. I hope the other thick-skinned politicians ruling the other states where the Asia Cup Hockey winners reside realise their error and make amends too. Once again, good work by Carvalho to take on the establishment and get some pruchase out of the same. Hope he and his team continue to fight with the same spirit and win at the next tournament also. And I think he has done enough to ensure that henceforth when the Indian Hockey Team wins, they will be better received, better rewarded.

by Saurabh Gupta on Sep 27, 2007 12:07 AM
Waste of Taxpayers Money!!! I think thats the best way to use our money. Better then going into pockets of corrupts politicians. paying only cricket players in really sad. infact both our hockey and football team should be facilitated same way for the proud they have bought for India. Our Cricket team juts won by luck but the hockey team's performance was beyond comparable....

by Moses Joseph on Sep 27, 2007 12:04 AM
Unfortunately, there is no Indian Hockey Board which makes fabulous money out of hockey matches and sponsorships. So, there is no money made by any one because of the hockey players unlike cricket. Am I right? Please correct me for the benefit of all readers, if I am wrong!
RE:Hats off to Joaquim Carvalho
by r r on Sep 27, 2007 12:17 AM
Moses, i think you are wrong, bcz here Carvalho demanded the govt. and not the hockey board... These govt.s are giving hefty amount to cricket players and the goverments are not bothering abt the hockey and football players..
RE:Hats off to Joaquim Carvalho
by loler Chicken on Sep 27, 2007 12:26 AM
no u r wrong... Money should be given to those who have performed but not compensated enuf....
for eg. bcci already gave 80 lakhs to each player... so the state governments need not have given more... instead they should have given it to hocket and soccer stars...
