This with reference to the news titled in the sport page “Intercontinental Cup “ Chhetri guides India to final” the Goan Everyday dated June 12, 2023. The sport news says that India captain and profile player Sunil Chhetri’s goal at 86 minutes guided India to final and on that proud moment celebrated the goal by sliding the ball below jersey and into his belly and imitating a pregnant woman while saying “Me and my wife are expecting a baby and son” I am going to be a father (facing to the stand where his pregnant wife was).
Using football as a tool to make an image of a pregnant woman on the field likely has lowered the dignity of the ball, women and the field. In this football crazy world the scene has been taken lightly.
