Sports Have been changing over time. There are not one but many games and sports that are invented. The primary stage of sports has turned to new forms with additions of techniques and forms to improve as the techniques of sports changed. Making for the players to enjoy and implement better ways to create interest for the viewers and players.

In early times sports were for free times and entertainment apart. When people could spend leisure practicing and playing on the grounds. There were less or no audiences but over time there has been a massive change in gaining popularity and powers together.

It could be hardly believed that people can be paid high for the sports they play. They will be paid for their travels while from one country to another.

Ancient sports was less about teamwork

The beginning of the sports was all about archery, weapons, and masters in fight or wrestling. Whenever sports started it was less about teamwork and more between two people. Bravery and master are the two appraisals that were more important in sports along with intelligence. Over time there have been changes within 18 the century.

Sports introduced to cricket, soccer, ice skating, golf, and many others that were restricted to high-class people who wanted to spend playing during their leisure time. Slowly the interest developed in common people and with the introduction of sports clubs, different competitions and friendly games provided scopes to neutrally. Later with the support of the government, the sports and players flourished with new developments. Olympics that gives opportunities to 33 sports now in which hundreds of players participate. International games are played in different events apart from the national games. No longer it is a local game that was for leisure and friendly games as sports changed.

As Sports changed it is now a profession, not leisure

Sportsmen play professionally, they are highly trained, with the followed chart of routines related to fitness, nutrition, and health. Award and honor were present even during the ancient sports but the difference arises with the different introduction of events. Each event has expertise who play professionally and earn a job and salary for their commitment to their expertise.

Earlier expertise in any kind of profession or job could play sports, it can be for leisure or a reason of interest. At no place, do they have any mentor to guide them? They did not need to maintain their fitness for playing as a profession, as it was a part of a fun and refreshment activity.

Sports in the modern world

Sports has not only given name and fame worldwide but the success is unpredictable. Top players are found to rank among the richest persons. Audiences or spectators have to purchase tickets at prices that may be a salary of a day. Sports in the modern world have changed over time that pays the highest and it is growing with profitability. Many skilled and good players at an early age can easily divert themselves to their field of interest. Cultural influence is not new, it was seen several decades ago that remains in the modern world.

Controversial footballers – Football has legions of fans across the globe.

A recent ad campaign has really caught our fancy that is #meridusricountry which depicts how love for Football cut across the national boundaries and countries like Argentina and Brazil become as endearing as our when the bugle of FIFA sounds.

India has not excelled in world football but the magnitude of Football frenzy paints another picture.

So what if our country doesn’t play? We love Football all the same. In like manner, the Footballers too become the role models and to tell you, Kolkata loves Maradona as much as Buenos Aires does, his image rose beyond national proportions and he was titled as the ‘Prince of Football’ by the Football fanatic Kolkatans.

But the names of some legendary footballers have lately mired into controversies too but our love for them remained unchanged nonetheless.

Read on below about the Controversial footballers – controversies of some footballers that shook the world:

Controversial footballers –

1 – Luis Suarez:

He has tested huge success from his struggling days at Liverpool Football club and his score card went up a notch when he joined the Spanish giants Barcelona. Suarez adds extra glamour to the game with his skills. However, he recently got embroiled in a controversy when the threw tantrums to not play against Venezuela during the Copa America 2016. This led to his home team having to leave the competition suffering a 1-1 defeat. His temper was so high that he threw his boots on the field too. He is also accused of racism and biting opponents. Beat that!

2 – Mario Balotelli:

Mario Balotelli is otherwise called the ‘super Mario’ who drove Italy to the European championship in the year 2012. During his three years tenure in the Manchester City, Balotelli was known to have been set his house alight, found carrying £5000 cash in his pocket and driving into an Italian woman’s prison to have a look around.

3 – Cristiano Ronaldo:

He is one of the highest paid sports personalities of the world but then his controversies never seem to end. He claimed that the Real Madrid team mates were not of his status and attracted winds of dissent. While Gareth Bale, Pepe and Marcelo absent for injury and Ronaldo was forced off by Karim Benzema to lash out at the team mates, he said “If we were all at my level, maybe we would be leaders.” But he later cleared the air saying he was suggesting about his fitness level.

4 – David De Gea:

He name mired in a sex scandal for being a passive watcher of two women being forced to have sex with two footballers. When there was a probe going on, his name featured as the ‘protected witness’ and an Italian porn producer Ignacio Allende was accused of being masterminding it.

5 – Diego Maradona:

Like being the king of Football, he is the kind of controversy too. While he was on a face-off with Mexico at the World Cup 1986, his famous ‘hand of god’ goal became an object of controversy.    This midfielder was sent to home from the tournament in 1994 as he failed the drug test and stimulant ephedrine was found in his blood sample. He later even engaged in a public fight while playing for Napoli.

These are Controversial footballers – These footballers have been controversy’s favourite child but what’s in great men if they don’t go mad even once?

Men and TV are considered to be friends with each other only if news or sports are being played on some channel. Otherwise, they are arch rivals since both vie for female attention 24X7!

In a way it is true as well since none of the fictional or even non-fictional shows have much to offer to male audience in terms of exciting entertainment. Most men watch channels other than sports or news as they have no option! Yes, once back at home after work, they have to watch what the women of the house are watching and they meekly surrender!

Things are changing though! Well, we at least hope that things are changing and in fact should change since men are also an important part of audience and their taste in entertainment has to be respected. There are enough advertisements out there to attract and engage male audiences, so there should be fictional shows which should cater to their sensibilities as well. With the success of youth-based fictional shows like Saadda Haq, Kaisi Yeh Yaariyan on channels like MTV, Bindaas, Channel V etc., it is no rocket science to understand that such shows have gained mass popularity due to the following from both the sexes and not just young female fans.

On the sets of Kaisi Hai Yeh Yaariyan

Since youth wants to watch shows that connect with them on an emotional level, there are grown-up men as well who would want to watch something that satisfies their emotional needs in entertainment. Hence the need to create such shows with strong content!

Scene from Saada Haq

No one is saying that suddenly the whole programming brief of the channels should undergo change, but instead of having shows with only strong female protagonists with men only for decorative value, the shows need to balance out the content in favour of both the sexes. Even if the story is about a girl, the boy should have equally engaging presence. Even better would be to have a story revolving around a guy, his inner turmoil, dreams, aspirations etc. The way society is changing, men are not playing the usual roles of being a bread-winner in real life. They also have a story to share, an emotional roller-coaster to showcase to the world at large.

If some brave producer or channel doesn’t take the plunge today in bringing alive the journey of a contemporary man, sooner or later it will become a reality. The ones who take this gamble will be richly rewarded in the long run, for others there could be a left-over bounty for sure.

TV shows for men are the need of the hour to provide a balanced entertainment! Hope it becomes a reality real soon!

Knocking out an opponent is just one of the very few things, Mary Kom has accomplished over a period of time.

Her life has changed drastically ever since the former’s appearances in the boxing ring.

The world might have seen many top notch female boxers but India, hardly produced any. But the year 2000, a lady from the north east, a region of India which is highly traceable and the natives are ‘ghettoed’ by the citizens, gave this country a rising star.

Not a young woman or a tall, dark and handsome man but a mother of two!

Yes, her name was Mangte Chungneijang Mary Kom. Mary was born to a poor tribal family in Manipur’s Kangathei village. Her grandmother named her ‘Mary’ which meant ‘prosperous’ in their lingual tribe.

It was not long before Mary found inspiration from her native fellow boxer Dingko Singh who had clinched gold at the 1998 Asian Games.

Since then, the lady was found herself into the sport so much that she moved to Imphal to train in athletics. Even after ignoring her family’s calls for not taking up sports, Mary tried her level best to get into the sporting world. She would train late into the nights, even after academies’ students went away into their homes but the former tried punching the bag so hard, eventually it would fall.

In the year 2001, Mary lost in the final and had to settle for a silver medal at the AIBA World Championships.

A year later, she returned, now stronger and competitive, clinched her first ever gold medal at the event.

Down the years, Mary Kom continued to dominate the women’s boxing category till the year 2006 where she took an eminent break due to the birth of her twins. She returned onto the boxing ring once again, in 2008, winning her 4th successive World Championships.

Glories followed for the ‘Magnificent Mary’, a title stated by the All India Boxing Association for her past achievements.

Mary kept getting the rewards for the patience and hard work, she had put in. After all those troubles in the boxing ring and outside it, Mary walked away with many posthumous titles that included the Arjuna Award in 2004, Padma Shri Award in 2006 and the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna in 2009 for her achievements in Boxing.

That did not stop there, as Mary became the first female Indian boxer to win a medal (bronze) at the Olympics (2012). And since then, a mother of two and proud wife, has not looked back. With some efforts from the government and charitable trusts, Mary is also a proud owner of a India’s first ever ‘female fight club’.

This country has seen some major downpour over the years.

Especially the women, who have been neglected, ignored and ashamed by the male superiority! Our politicians, sportstars, directors, chairpersons, bank managers etc. have all seen the rise of the alpha male. Women were never counted and it will never be this way but, there’s always a but!

Women have matched toe to toe with the male counterparts in our country and the best example one can give is none other than MC Mary Kom.

A daughter, mother, wife and a player; Mary has carved a niche for other women as well, who are fighting their own battles.

Priyanka Chopra might have brought alive the character of ‘Mary’ on the big screen, but the legacy of ‘Magnificent Mary’ lives on.
