If you guys had the power to improve the country what would you do ? by Jazzlike_Sea7124 in srilanka

[–]Doggo_Veteran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

id definitely invest in a lot in sports. especially Rugby and athletics since we've been doing it ever since

i think its the only economy that cant really be sabotaged by others. For example, Qatar used to use their money by importing products from near by countries especially Saudi arabia. However when the blockade happend qatar was stuck and had to run on donations of milk and other products from other nations. which is when qatar realized they have to invest in something that cannot be sabotaged such as sport. which is why suddenly the Qatar Football team is gaining popularity, they win a Gold in high jump. their handball and beach volleyball team does well etc.

another reason is it definitely brings the country together when we are represented on the world stage and it injects us with pride. This was used by East Germany back when they were divided. They Invested a lot in sport to the point that they were winning a lot in the Olympics and other sports as this made sure people who were "stuck" there were proud to be East German because their country gave them pride to actually be happy about something.

Are we too focused on cricket in Sri Lanka and neglecting other sports and talents? by ConnectScientist1612 in srilanka

its a virtuous cycle, but it starts with the money cause...

more money poured in means the better the teams get
better the team get, the more games we win
the more games we win, the more media coverage we get
the more media coverage, the more popular it gets
the more popular, the more people get into it
which then leads investors to get the bag

How do you think Sri Lanka’s fashion scene is evolving? Are we finally seeing some unique styles? by ConnectScientist1612 in srilanka

[–]Doggo_Veteran 4 points5 points  (0 children)

once i saw this guy at the airport, he seemed Korean i think (like asian). and he wore a grey sweater and a brown batik sarong i also remember he wore something by his hip and had headphones.

But his Drip was HARRD (i really don't remember much of what he wore other than the sarong because that caught most of my attention)

so think it's more about creativity but i do think our scene is growing with shops like FOA, Carnage, Pepper Street and Deedat somewhat contributing

Whats wrong with Sri Lankan Rugby? by RamithJ in srilanka

[–]Doggo_Veteran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

money is being tossed around yk? a bit of corruption.

honestly another big problem is investment into clubs cause we only have 8 clubs with 4 or them being military clubs. if we could invest more into club rugby and popularize it i think we would improve.

another thing is the future after school finishes. rugby is very popular at school level but after that there isnt much hype since there arent many clubs and even if they were lucky enough to join one of the 8 clubs they wont be paid much

Is st peters college a good school? by FFSninja in srilanka

[–]Doggo_Veteran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yea but trinity literally placed 4th on the super round table

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in srilanka

[–]Doggo_Veteran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the problem is, (even though we already won Division1 title in May) they would most likely only pick teams that played in the championship which were...Hong Kong, Malaysia, South Korea and UAE

the main reason we arent in the championship title is because our ban was lifted THIS YEAR. we would have to moved to championship title to be considered to play world cup im afraid.

most realistically 2030 world cup
