Why does India suck so bad at the Olympics

[festeringZit]

1.1 Billion people, and they just barely got their first individual
gold medal. EVER. And, in the last 100 years, they only had
one individual medal ?!?!?!??!

India shooter Abhinav Bindra wins Olympic gold medal

5:12 AM, August 11, 2008

BEIJING -- I'll confess. This is a shameless effort to drive traffic to latimes.com.
There are 1.1 billion people in India, more people than in any other country besides China, and a lot of them get their news from the Internet. So why shouldn't they come here to read about Abhinav Bindra, the first gold medalist ever from India in an individual sport?
Besides, it's a pretty good story to know about even if you're not from India.
Abhinav Bindra won the gold medal Monday in the 10-meter air rifle competition. He is 25 years old, comes from Chandigarh, wears glasses and is ranked merely 17th in the world. He was in fourth place before the final round.
But what makes the story really interesting is that India, in its 108-year Olympic history, had little to show for it in individual sports other than three silver medals, two in 1900 and one in 2004.
It has won eight field hockey gold medals, but none since 1980. If cricket were an Olympic sport, it would have won more than a few of those. But as Indian tennis player Leander Paes told Bloomberg News, "Cricket is a religion, it's not a sport.''
Thus, Bindra was heavenly honored Monday when the Board of Control for Cricket in India rewarded him with a $59,000 bonus.

Just not very athletic I guess at anything other than Cricket. I think they have some good badminton players though, but all those medals go to China and Japan.

My parents and I were talking about that over the weekend. A billion people and we can't even get a couple people into the Olympics. They used to be great at field hockey and now suck.

 

[GreenDoberman]

They do not have a centralized organized sports program there. Basically that is the reason.

 

[festeringZit]

It's amazing to me, because Indians are so competitive academically
and in the business world. Why the disconnect in athletics?

They would get gold as thieves.
Now before anyone jumps down my throat I am speaking from personal experience. I have had 2 different business dealings with Indian people and both times I got screwed for thousands of dollars. One case is about to go to court for damages.

I have no respect for this race of people and I suggest if you must do business with East Indians...watch your back. I know that is a blanket statement but that is how I feel as of this moment.

Thanks for the warning. I will never do business with indians again.

You can't judge 1.1 billion people because of the behavior of two.

BeanTownJim might disagree with me though.

so if you had two straight dealings with white or chinese people in a row, that went sour you would never do business with that race again either?

Your Welcome.:lol:
I know I came off harsh but without going into details words cannot describe how frustrated I am.

I am going to screw this Indian guy over North American Style so he never tries his scams again.

Who cares how frustrated you are? You've acknowledged that it's ignorant to make a generalization about a billion people based on the actions of two, yet you still do it. It's one thing to just be an ignorant fuck, but it's even worse to be AWARE that you're an ignorant fuck and yet still cling to your stupid belief.

I went to McDonald's last night and this white bitch fucked up my order. All white people are fucking retards who can't take simple orders and should all be put to sleep because they're worthless pieces of shit. That's a fair and logical generalization to make, right? Idiot.

And the funniest thing is you say "before anyone jumps down my throat, I am speaking from personal experience," as if that's some sort of legit explanation for your retarded perspective. That's OK, though. You're frustrated with some bad business dealings with two people out of a billion, so that makes it OK to be stupid. My fault.

Based on the posts I've seen from you in the past, I never would've pegged you to be this ignorant. My mistake.

 

[Dawoofdaddy]

They are too busy earning engineering degrees and winning spelling bees to worry about athletics.

OT, has anyone checked whether or not bookie is a ghost.

700 posts in 7 years and in past 6 months has doubled the total posts.

:wink:

 

[Timetopay]

I had a couple gay guys try to grab my ass before so pardon me if I will stay away from homosexuals at this point

 

[bookie]

Listen asshole...get back on the banana boat and get the fuck out of this country. Nobody wants you here.

When are you sand niggers going to learn?
That is how strongly I feel about it and if that means I get banned for it...so be it.
