Sports and politics is not a cocktail!

Sports and politics don't mix but sports have been used, over years, as a means to highlight political issues. Is this right? Can the politicians not refrain from using sports as a platform for political gains?

Sports in its unadulterated form is a means of enjoyment, a celebration of physique, acumen, will power, determination, team work and ability. Let it remain that! Let it provide smile to the billions and not a frown!

I believe that geo-political issues should have been kept out of the Olympics journey this year. Olympics is a tradition, an event that every athlete looks forward to, its an opportunity for a sports person to leave an everlasting imprint on this world- and it comes once in four years. Let it be a white canvas that it deserves to be for each one of the athlete. Lets not paint it blood red!

Peace!
