Today, Bangladesh team defeated Indian team in U-19 ICC World Cup. But what happened during and after the match was shocking for all sports enthusiasts (Ref). Bangladesh U19 team showed unwanted aggression which nearly resulted into a free for all after the team won the U-19 ICC World Cup.
The Bangladesh players were overtly aggressive while fielding with their lead pacer Shoriful Islam sledging the Indian batsmen after every delivery. In fact as Bangladesh approached the winning runs, Shoriful was seen swearing multiple times openly on camera.
As soon as the match ended, it became tense with Bangladeshi players rushing to the ground and most of them still displaying aggressive body language. In fact, one India player rushed to confront and pushed a Bangladeshi player who had allegedly said uncharitable things and it was coach Paras Mhambrey seen calming his boys.
BD skipper Akbar showed maturity at the post-match conference by saying, "Some of our bowlers were emotional and were pumped up. What happened after the game was unfortunate. I would like to congratulate India."
Such physical aggression and abusive language should be condemned. I have spoken against India's own captain Virat Kohli who often uses abusive language on the ground and I don't think any regulatory body has done enough to stop this menace. Small kids look at these sports icons as their "role models" and what is the message they are trying to give by such behavior?
Beyond a point, such behavior also indicates that the competitive nature of the professional sports results in such behavior. This is why I am against competitive professional sports at large.
