Conclusion
The issues plaguing the sports arena are numerous. If we don’t get rid of these as soon as possible, sports would become devoid of the most important things which include fairness and safety of the players. This rampant commercialisation and selfishness is killing the spirit of sportsmanship. If we want to witness the sports in their true spirit, we need to protect our sportspersons from becoming the victims of selfishness of sponsors, coaches and clubs. It is important for the government to promote its national sports and culture and raise it to international standards. This will pave India's way forward into the exclusive league of developed countries across the world and open new avenues for our players.
