Sports Tv channel
The people of Bangladesh are sports-oriented. We have been watching it since our boyhood. The disciplines were soccer, cricket, hockey, badminton, volleyball, basketball, swimming, athletics, table tennis and ha-du-du. But with the passage of time, the area of the sports arena has become narrow.
This is not a good sign. Most of the youths and the students of our country nowadays give more time to cell phone, facebook, aps, e.mail, discourses and serving the vested interests. They appear reluctant to join sports. But the picture is divergent in Europe, Latin America, East Asia, Oceania, West Asia and Africa.
To bring the youths back to the stadiums, the Ministry of Sports has something to do. Mere lectures and inaugurating a tournament do not serve the purposes of the ministry. They apart from above should take the initiative of floating a sports channel. We heard few years ago opening of a sports channel, but that has not yet been translated into action.
We are sure whoever invests for a sports channel, it will be a good decision because the government as well as the people love games and sports
