Bullshit. Every country has their choice of sports.
US: Basketball/baseball
Africa: Running
EAST ASIAN INCL. CHINA: Athletics/Badminton/TT
Similarly, India has Cricket/hockey while Europe has Football/Tennis.
The Ghulams want us to emulate EU.
You need extreme cardio vascular and explosive strength to play football. If you think that, that doesn’t exist in a gene pool spanning 1.3 bn people then I don’t know what to say. Before Neeraj, if someone had asked why India can’t win a track and field medal, someone would have said the same thing. Till a few years back, thanks to news anchors from a certain state sitting in newsrooms parading aman ki asha nonsense, it was accepted that Indians can never bowl fast. Today, every ranji trophy team has two fast bowlers clocking 135 at a minimum. And by the way, india has had storied footballers. Chunni Goswami was quite close to playing for Tottenham all those years back. India needs a functioning AIFF, a serious club structure, bottom up leagues in every nook and corner of the country and watch how the talent explodes. The problem in our country is small men with a lot of power.
