Royal Club Kohima. Nagaland came to lime light in the world of sports when Dr T Ao captained the first Olympic football team of independent India.

If sending contingent of ministers and officials to such events could further sports in the state in any way, the status of games and sports in Nagaland should be, by now, the envy of everyone. Of the two Naga women who were in the National Sepaktakraw team, Jwensile is a constable in the BSF while Keneileno Nakhro is now a cultivator. The sickness of sports and games in Nagaland is not only in the failure to prepare and equip our sports persons but is also seen in the utter lack of motivation and incentive to our sports persons. The outstanding achievement of Chekrovolü, Honezo and Kilenmeren has motivated thousands of our youngsters and their interest in the game.

It is an undeniable fact that the games and sports scenario in Nagaland demands an honest and a thorough introspection both by the sports persons and the officials manning the sports affairs in the state. The state government, the Nagaland Olympic Association and all officials concerned with the development of sports and games in the state are much aware of this. On the occasion, the Minister also went to inform that Manipur has around 5000 registered football players in the international and national circuit and has also got an MP in the Rajya Sabha through sports.

Black women in sports do not receive the recognition they deserve; worse still, they are often degraded and attacked.

Even more so than Black men, Black women are the scapegoats for a white-dominated world of unfair advantage. The athletes most greatly affected by these arbitrary distinctions are Black and African women, like intersex middle-distance runner Caster Semenya of South Africa, a two-time Olympic gold-medal winner in the women’s 800m event. It is within this world context that an athlete of Griner’s stature must suffer away in a Russian prison cell for what is at worst a minor offence. I became aware of the underappreciation of Black women as athletes growing up in the 1980s. Then came the 1990s, when Venus and Serena Williams conquered the court, dominating the sport for the next quarter of a century. My mom downplayed her athleticism and achievements as if they didn’t matter because, in a Jim Crow world of white racism and Black patriarchy, to so many, they didn’t matter. This is doubly so for Black women across the globe and it is quite apparent in the way Black women athletes are treated. In the US, conservative pundit Charlie Kirk called four-time Olympic gold-medal gymnast Simone Biles, arguably the greatest gymnast of all time, “a selfish sociopath” for pulling out of the Olympic Games in Tokyo last year. Despite the evidence, the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) has insisted on excluding athletes with high T. These criticisms came despite Garrison being ranked among the top 10 women’s tennis players in the world between 1983 and 1990, despite her beating Evert, Martina Navratilova, and Steffi Graf when they were at or near their prime. This isn’t just the problem of one uniquely gifted Black athlete. The US hasn’t valued Griner as a person either, missing scheduled telephone calls and infrequently checking in on her.

Sport teaches you the ability to handle success and failure.
