The authorities are doing grave injustice to the football crazy goan fans by playing the ISL matches behind closed doors when all other events like IFFI, casinos, movies, theatrs, political meetings going on unhindered.
Why only this official Goan sport "football" is given a step-motherly treatment by the people at the helm requres immediate answers. Have the authorities noticed the hordes of tourists who throng the goan beaches these days almost rubbing shoulders with each other without masks or social distancing? Do the tourism authorities have any control on their influx or it is "show must go on" as usual. One can understand the last two seasons when the virus was at its peak but since the last few months it has stabilized a bit and more or less under control and even the govt is contemplating reopening the schools in physical mode.
So it would be prudent to allow the public to watch and cheer their favourite teams/players from the stands albeit with 50% capacity. With the elections fast approaching, I dare the politicians/netas to organize their campaigns and meetings from the stage before empty audiences.
