Change in nature of sports - abilities to entertainmentSports is a test for physical abilities - strength, speed, stamina, flexibility, skill (usually combative). A competition would make it easy to assess the health status and general skill levels of the people of the country. Those who excelled in these sports would usually be employed in the services of their country historically by the monarch. With mechanization and gunpowder, physical abilities are no longer the benchmark of capability.The core benefit of competitive sports has already lost its purpose. However, sports is supported for the following reasons:Personal health benefit for those who practice it.An emotional experience (like drama and movies) for those who claim superiority by association to a sporting team/nation.Arts, sports, entertainment, literature are mostly for those whose basic needs are already satisfied - the privileged. The reason why ‘fixed’ events like WWF and cricket are still interesting for viewers is because it is simply entertainment. The arbitrary changes to rules of the game are made to make it ‘entertaining’.In Cricket, batsmen are favored to hit sixes and fours - there are fielding restrictions, power plays, limits on bowlers bending elbows, bouncers, number of overs per bowler, the ‘benefit of doubt’, free-hits, sighting screen. In comparison, Baseball a similar sport has none of that - it is still the sport between the fastest pitcher and the most skillful hitter. It is not the diluted version of the sport.India took over the dying sport of cricket. It was played by a handful of nations in 1980s. Indians made it their own - they changed the rules of the game to favor their batsmen and made it wholesome entertainment program on television with cheer-leaders, late night parties, fixing matches, spot-fixing, fixing pitches, opposing DRS, opposing synthetic pitches, selling every square inch of ad-space for profit.The Supreme Court of India had to intervene in the affairs of cricket in India to stem the corruption in the sport - it is such a shame.Sports in India is for the entertainment of the privilegedSports in India is like the gladiatorial games in Rome for the privileged. There is no interest in true competition of abilities - like athletics, swimming, gymnastics - where only skill matters. The races are over in 10 secs - there is no drama - not much money to make.The privileged who run the show, have no interest in developing people’s abilities. Priyanka Chopra who plays a boxer in the movie Mary Kom earns more than Mary Kom did facing all the punches in real life. If you cannot hit the fast ball, we will change the rules to make it easy for you to win matches (by fixing pitches in cricket in India for e.g.), instead of spreading the game to all the people of India in search of real talent.It is the privileged who have had the ‘relaxation’ in the form of favorable pitches, changes to cricket rules, smaller grounds, field restrictions, over restrictions, free-hits etc.Sporting achievements of the under-privilegedThere was no relaxation of rules when Mary Kom, Jharkhand Girls Football Team, P. T. Usha played under Indian flag.Mary Kom - a ST boxed her way to a Bronze medal in 2012 Olympics. No one was changing rule for giving her ‘free-hits’. Mary Kom[1]struggles to find sponsors for her academy.Jharkhand girls from tribal areas fought poverty, bureaucracy to participate and won bronze medal in Spain. If a tribal team with no facilities can reach such heights, can you imagine the amount of untapped talent there is in India? They practiced without shoes as they could not afford to spoil their gear before the game.Even legends like P. T. Usha are humiliated[2] and struggle to get land to promote athletic sports in India[3]- whereas rich Bollywood actress get prime land in Mumbai to promote dance institute of the privileged.[4] Why the hell should the rich get free land at public expense? Are they winning medals under the Indian flag?Dipa Karmakar is a gymnast performed some of the toughest routines in gymnastics to miss a medal by few points.If only India spreads the access to sporting facilities to remote corners of our country where the under-privileged live, will we have ability to spot and develop sporting talent in our country. By providing it only to the rich and lazy privileged category in urban centers, we have not tapped the true potential of our sportsmen. The results are obviously poor.In conclusion, it is the privileged Indians who tweak the rules in sports to meet their talent (the lack of it). The under-privileged work against the system and prove themselves without any support from public and private sector dominated by the privileged castes in sports.What is shameful is those who could not get medals in Olympics or in football claiming that there should be relaxation in rules on behalf of underprivileged who perform without such relaxation instead of spreading the schooling and sporting facilities to their population.Additional StoriesSource: TBI Inspirations: An Incredible Journey From Jharkhand To Spain For This All-Girls Football Team - The Better IndiaOn the night of July 13, 2013, as most of India slept, eighteen girls from Jharkhand were ecstatically screaming ‘Vande Mataram’ as they lifted the trophy for being placed third in the prestigious Gasteiz Cup in Spain! Representing the Yuwa India under-14 all-girls’ team, this was the first time that most of them had even played outside their village of Ormanjhi on the outskirts of Ranchi.One of the players, Shivani Toppo with her mothr Jhari Devi and grandfather Dukhan Pahan at their home in Hutup in Ormanjhi Ranchi (Photo Courtesy: Anumeha Yadav)The team was fondly called Supergoats by the organizers in Spain, since they were seen playing barefoot many a times during the practice matches. This was because the team had limited football gear and could not afford to spoil them before the tournament began.If this was not shaming enough, it is also reported here that the girls were slapped, kicked and asked to clean floors by the local bureaucrats in Jharkhand when they approached them for birth certificates, a necessary part of the application process. They managed to get their passports only due to the efforts of an American, Franz Gastler, who founded Yuwa-India and fought for their case with the Ministry of External Affairs in New Delhi.The 18 girls in their traditional attire, lifting the trophy at Victoria Gastiez, Spain (Photo Courtesy: Chandra Mohan, Chandra Mohan | Facebook)However the girls put all these insults behind them on July 13th as they danced and cheered. As soon as the announcement of their win was made, they rushed to the dressing room and changed into their traditional garb of red-bordered white sarees with plastic flowers in their hair, proudly proclaiming to the world that they were Indians, even if they were marginalised in their own country.Footnotes[1] Home - Mary Kom Regional Boxing Foundation[2] PT Usha humiliated in Bhopal, breaks down[3] Plot not part of school ground: P T Usha[4] For One Mumbai Dance School, Hema Malini Now Has Two Plots

PMI certification and membership is a must in many fields.Project Management Certificate programs come in all shapes and sizes, from single bootcamp courses to week-long intensives, 5-week, 8-week, 10-week, or even year-long self-paced online programs. There is no right or wrong way to do it – just what works best for your professional and personal life situation.
