Indian hockey, RIP!

I follow Indian hockey—I have done that for years. My friends will hate me for saying this—they deserted the game when Indian fortunes began to go on a perennial southward dip! I somehow stuck to the sport like a all-weather friend.My reason is simple—they bring in flair and when they are winning, they look pretty on the field. Did someone mention West Indian cricket? The Indian hockey team and the West Indian cricket team have had similar paths of glory and then slid into paths of self-destruction. The West Indian cricket team reached their nadir some years back and don't look like coming out. If that is any indication, God help Indian hockey!
