TV should support RI athletes<\/p>\n
After reading the article No Olympic TV upsets RI athletes
\n(The Jakarta Post, Aug. 5), I felt sad, mad and ashamed at the
\nsame time. (TV stations) Stop dreaming only of profit. We have
\ndreams too, for the success of our athletes. After all, TV
\nstations make ample profit from various commercials and public
\nservice announcements.<\/p>\n
It is high time that TV stations gave something back to the
\ncommunity. They should think about the public and support our
\nathletes, who are competing and representing Indonesia at an
\ninternational event. The funny thing is, TV stations spend
\nthousands of dollars broadcasting other events, such as the World
\nCup and Euro 2004, which Indonesia is not even participating in.<\/p>\n
I agree 100 percent with the athletes, and share their
\ndisappointment. They deserve our support. I, as an Indonesian,
\nwould really like to see for myself how our athletes do in
\nAthens. I think all of us (Indonesians and expatriates) would
\nlike to see our heroes perform at the Olympics. Let me remind
\nyou, this is an event that unites the world's people under the
\ntrue spirit of sportsmanship.<\/p>\n
