Zero (correct, 0) Indian media people have gone to Rio to cover the Games and their athletes, that's so sad for the athletes, like a big "f*ck you, we don't give a damn"

Actually, Paralympic athletes are lucky. Indian sports journalists are bunch of buffoons who would have asked useless and demoralising questions. They have zero interest and knowledge about sports. 

 

But, once an Indian athlete wins a medal, these same media persons will try to guilt the rest of the nation for not paying enough attention to sports.
