THE SPORTS PAGE made its debut in the World Sikh News about eight months ago. It is time to reflect on those eight months and make a note. Sports started as a three column page but now it is a page to itself. It is so because we at WSN attach a lot of value to sports. Some of you may ask, why do we do that? Well, as a matter of fact, one of the biggest assets of Sikh community is its physical wellbeing. The old) Greek mythology says, “that a healthy mind and a healthy body” go together. Therefore, WSN cares about sports, because the health of the community is represented by the availability of sports talent. New features like sports profile on Sikh youth who are active in sports at various levels are given priority. The most recent move is to have likeminded readers exchange views, ideas etc. through the columns of this publication. Our readers, be they young or old alike should take advantage of this. Readers should mail the coupon that will henceforth be published every week on this page.
W.S.N. welcomes any suggestions, even if they happen to be critical. Please be constructive when you write to us. Your opinion is valuable and to serve you better the feedback from you, forms base on which the sports section functions.
If the younger lot of readers wants American sport coverage, so be it, but let these youngsters come forward with their brainwaves. WSN is committed to quality sports journalism and it matters little if that sport is All American or from Asia. This writer is of the view that sports page is the open forum where anyone of you can say what you want, your way and not my way.
The ball is now in your court.
Till next week.
Sportingly yours, RS
