Pakistan’s U-17 football team tried to mock India with a cheap on-field celebration during the SAFF Championship – but ended up losing the match 3-2. This incident once again exposed how Pakistan’s sporting culture is deeply influenced by politics and theatrics rather than performance. From junior football to junior tennis, and from their cricket stars to so-called legends like Shahid Afridi and Mohammad Yousuf – gestures, taunts, and propaganda have replaced skill, discipline, and humility. While India lets its performances do the talking, Pakistan continues to embarrass itself on the global stage. Rupha Ramani dives into how their youth are simply copying the bad examples set by their senior cricketers– and why every such antic only ends in humiliation.
